'Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: Spock's Lesson in Humanity
Spock has been one of the most beloved Star Trek characters since the franchise first hit the air back in 1966. The latest episode of Strange New Worlds sees Spock's Vulcan DNA temporarily removed, leaving him completely human ahead of an important dinner with his fiancé T'Pring and her parents.
Meanwhile, Spock has managed to fully suppress his emotions again thanks to therapeutic advice and methods from Doctor M'Benga, and without the distraction of his personal feelings, he's been able to take up new hobbies — like cooking with Captain Pike . During their latest lesson, Spock explains that he uses nasal suppressants because Vulcans have unusually strong senses, though Pike assures his second officer that he's missing out.
In sickbay, Spock goes through an incredible emotional rollercoaster from anger to hunger to gratitude that M'Benga is working on finding a way to restore Spock's Vulcan DNA. Pike reminds Spock of his upcoming commitment dinner with T'Pring and her family, and he immediately overreacts, a rarity for Spock, explaining that T'Pring's mother hates him, and she can't know that this has happened.
Spock Learns Lessons in Both Humanity and Vulcan Tradition M'Benga crafts synthetic earpieces for Spock to wear during the dinner, while Amanda sets about teaching Spock how to be the best Vulcan he can be during their dinner, following all the traditions and rituals that will garner him some good faith with T'Pring's mother. During their lessons, Spock gains a tremendous amount of respect for his mother as she shows him how she's learned to be strong for him.
Meanwhile, back at the anomaly, Chapel, Uhura, and Ortegas realize that they might be able to fly through the anomaly to reach the other side and contact the aliens. Despite the risks they decide it's worth it, and Ortegas gets to flex her piloting skills. Once they're through the anomaly, they find themselves in interdimensional space with the shuttle nowhere to be found, and no space suits required.
