Separated from the Protostar, the young crew face danger on multiple fronts on the hostile planet.

Gwynn created havoc in the last episode when making her escape from the Protostar in an unfinished shuttlecraft. This has deposited the crew 10km away from the ship and they’ll need to work together if they’re to catch up with the vessel.

Holo-Janeway uses her initiative, questioning what the real Janeway would do in these circumstances, but the more pressing concern is the arrival of the Diviner and Dreadnok, who want to reclaim their stolen ship. Gwynn discovers that their rescue plans do not include her and that her real family are those who she previously saw as her enemies.

Verdict: As we hit the mid-season finale, the Protostar and crew are now all working together, preparing to boldly go… and what fun it is. 8/10
