In engineering, Hemmer figures out the nebula is home to a spontaneously formed consciousness that must be using the story in M’Benga’s mind to create the fantasy. “Abracadabra!”Ĭhristina Chong as La’an “You must protect the child.”Īfter a confrontation with the Crimson Guard, Number One finally shows up as Z’ymira the Huntress, heroically saving and then joining the party.

Now they just need to get to engineering to sort all this out, and thanks to Hemmer’s handy “magic” cutting tool, they are free again.

The levels go to full ham as Pike immediately bends to her “kneel before me.” However, this is all part of the plan as now they get locked up in the dungeon (transporter room) where M’Benga can finally have a real conversation with Hemmer, who reveals he is self-aware due to his telepathic abilities, which blocked an entity inside the nebula from pushing into his mind. And as M’Benga expected, Pollux leads them into a trap, the throne room of Neve herself-well actually Uhura, looking majestic. Thanks to having read the book, King M’Benga uses his knoweldge that Pollux is Caster’s brother to get Spock to lead them around the swamp, so into the secret dark tunnel (actually a Jeffries Tube) they go. On their way they encounter Spock, the dark wizard Pollux who warns them of the Swamp of Infinite Death, which Sir Pike points out is “not a good swamp.” The party heads off to free the wizard… after some princess singing, naturally. The quest gets its next goal as they witness Hemmer (aka the wizard Caster) dragged away by Neve’s Redshirt Crimson Guard, but it looks like the Aenar engineer is still himself. The scans are inconclusive, but Princess La’an Thalia shows up with a warning about evil Queen Neve, who is after the King’s MacGuffin Stone… sorry, Mercury Stone.
The Fellowship of the Tricorder reaches sickbay, now an enchanted forest overseen by the healer Lady Audrey Chapel, who busies herself with an actual cauldron. Melissa Navia as Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as M’Benga, and Anson Mount as Pike “Welcome to my kingdom.” Playing along, M’Benga announces he must travel to the sick bay (taken as a literal bay) to get a magical device called a tricorder, and thus his quest begins with the two knights coming along, although cowardly Sir Pike expresses some reluctance. The ship seems to be running fine, according to the computer (sorry, the “Oracle”), and they are still hanging out next to the nebula, now appearing as a dangerous fog surrounding the Elysian Kingdom (episode name alert!). And M’Benga is the only one who realizes they are all LARPing. “All hail the king!” M’Benga starts to sort out that this is all taken from his daughter’s fairy tale, which makes him King Ridley, Pike is the sycophantic chamberlain Sir Rauth, and Ortegas (now perfectly fine) is the brave Sir Adya. It has been transformed into a medieval throne room and everyone is dressed for court-including him, complete with crown. “She has so little time left.”īut when the good doctor arrives on the bridge there is something odd… very odd. He’s been especially motivated after putting Rukiya back into the transporter buffer after another heart-tugging bedtime story. M’Benga, snapping him back to attention from the distraction of the ongoing plight of his dying daughter-his latest attempt at a cure only resulted in a minor explosion. And sure enough, as soon as they try to leave, the ship refuses to budge, and one last try with the impulse engines causes a jolt, knocking out Ortegas.
The Enterprise is wrapping up a routine nebula scanning mission and Pike is happy to get back to the science and the quiet competence of exploration, with Spock surprisingly reminding the captain of the human superstition of jinxing a good thing by calling it out. WARNING: Spoilers below! RECAP “But what if we could change the ending?” Rebecca Romijn as Una and Babs Olusanmokun as M’Benga
