Introduction

“Into the Forest I Go” is the 9th episode of the American television series Star Trek: Discovery, which is set roughly a decade before the events of the original Star Trek series and explores the war between the Federation and the Klingons.

Outline

Lorca is ordered to flee before the Klingons arrive, but disobeys to protect the lifeforms on Pahvo and improve their chances of detecting the cloaked ships.

When the Klingons arrive, Tyler and Burnham transport to their ship and plant sensors that will help create an algorithm for detecting the cloaked ships.

They find an alive Cornwell hidden with L’Rell, but encountering the latter sends Tyler into shock due to the torture and rape she subjected him to.

Lorca has Stamets make 133 micro-jumps in order to provide a three-dimensional reading of the sensors, while Burnham distracts Kol by challenging him to a fight. The jumps are completed, though not without trauma to Stamets. When the algorithm is calculated, Burnham, Tyler, Cornwell, and L’Rell (who wishes to defect) are transported back to the Discovery and the Klingon ship is destroyed.

Stamets volunteers to make one more jump to safety, but tells Lorca it will be his last. However, Lorca changes the coordinates and they jump to an unknown destination surrounded by debris from Klingon ships.
