Plotline
Continuing to research the "Red Angel's" signal over Kaminar, Discovery is confronted by a time anomaly. Pike and Tyler investigate the anomaly in a shuttlecraft, releasing a probe into it. Almost immediately the probe returns through the anomaly having been upgraded with future technology. It attacks the shuttle, transmits information to Discovery's computer, secretly infecting Lieutenant Commander Airiam's augmentations. Stamets helps Pike and Tyler destroy the probe, using his "Ripper" DNA to ignore the time discrepancies caused by the anomaly.
Meanwhile, Burnham visits Vulcan in search of Spock. Confronting Grayson, she learns that their mother has been hiding Spock, who is in psychological distress. He is saying phrases and a series of numbers over and over. Sarek tells Burnham to trust Starfleet and take Spock to Section 31 to fix his mind.
Section 31's doctors claim that they can help Spock, but Georgiou warns her that he will not survive the memory extractor that they plan to use on him. Georgiou helps Burnham stage an attack allowing Burnham to escape with Spock.
