Introduction

“Will You Take My Hand?” is the 15th 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

Tyler suggests that a drone enter Qo’noS’s underground, dormant volcanic system to covertly search the planet for targets.

Discovery jumps to a cave near the system’s entrance, and a party of Georgiou, Burnham, Tilly, and Tyler pose as traders.

Tilly discovers that the volcanic system is active, and that the “drone” Georgiou has is a hydro-bomb. Burnham confronts Cornwell, who admits that detonating the bomb in the active volcano will annihilate all life on Qo’noS, winning the war.

Burnham insists that Starfleet not commit genocide, and convinces Georgiou to give up the detonator in exchange for her freedom. They give the detonator to L’Rell, who uses the threat of mass destruction to unite the Klingon houses under her leadership and end the war.

The Discovery crew are hailed as heroes, and Burnham is issued a full pardon and restored to the rank of commander. Tyler chooses to remain with L’Rell.

As Discovery warps to Vulcan to pick up its new captain, it receives a distress call from Captain Pike of the USS Enterprise.
