* Some of ''Discovery''[='=]s crew visiting Earth and Starfleet Academy at the end, seeing a tree that stood on the grounds when they were all once cadets. Something of the past they came from has traveled to this strange future with them. More importantly, despite Starfleet and the Federation having left Earth 100 years ago, it seems Starfleet Academy still stands: abandoned, but waiting for Starfleet to come back. The people of Earth may have left the Federation, but they haven't forgotten it completely, and perhaps hope to see it again someday.

** Ni'Var left the Federation. . . but it was the ''Vulcans'' who swung that vote, the Romulans wanted to stay. 900 years to go from the Federation's most dreaded enemy to a staunch supporter. That's something beautiful.

* Four words: "I have a child." Stamets, the same Stamets who started the series as an almost textbook InsufferableGenius, confirms with those words that he's come to view Adira as his child, just as much a part of his family as Culber is. When he hears from Burnham later that Adira is back in the radioactive nebula too, she has to physically restrain and then ''Vulcan nerve-pinch'' him to keep him from jumping the ship back to the nebula to save them.

** The meeting is a ''great'' demonstration of what Starfleet is supposed to be. Both Ndoyu and Wen are unwilling to talk at first, but when they finally make each other start to consider each others' points of view, they accept putting in the effort to speak, and in the end both sides begin to work together.

* When Adira beams into the Citadel, Grey manifests as a Holo, allowing the others to see him for the first time, and allowing Culber to give him a hearty hug and note that Adira was right about him having kind eyes.
* [[TheCavalry Ni'Var sends a fleet of ships]] to break the siege on Federation HQ.
* The Sphere Data risks itself to save Owo in the warp nacelle, even though just being near the nacelle is incredibly dangerous for it.
* Saru promises Su'Kal that he won't cause another Burn because he will never be alone again. The two later travel to Kaminar.
* A Meta moment for the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' fans: ''Voyager'' is ordered to take point on the fight against the ''Veridian'', and continues to press the pursuit all the way until Burnham orders the Federation/Ni'Var fleet to back off.

Despite Khan's reprehensible actions, the name continues to be used.

[[AC:Su'Kal]]
* Tilly admits she's nervous about being left in command when Saru, Burnham and Culber beam down. Burnham reassures her that she was terrified the first time Captain Georgiou left her in command of the ''Shenzhou'' and that Tilly is ready for this. She also tells Tilly that there's a small burr on the underside of one of the armrests of the captain's chair, and that any time Tilly feels like there's a hundred things going on she should touch that burr to help her focus.

* Georgiou probably wouldn't want to admit it, but in the end, the Federation won: when she leaves to go to her SpinOff, Burnham says farewell by giving her the Vulcan salute, and ''Georgiou accepts it as praise''. (Likewise, Burnham does not quibble over receiving the Terran fist-over-heart salute as tribute.)

* Georgiou subtly showing discomfort over the awful things going on in the Mirror Universe, which she previously wouldn't have batted an eyelid at. Despite knowing that she will be perceived as weak - which may well be a Terran emperor's death sentence - she is disturbed by Mirror Burnham's mutilating a family of artists, saves Mirror Saru from being butchered, and spares Burnham from execution despite Imperial law mandating the death penalty for treason. This suggests that the Federation and the ''Discovery'' crew have rubbed off on her a good deal more than she cares to admit.

* Adira now feels comfortable enough with the ''Discovery'' crew to come out as non-binary for only the second time in their life, and in turn Stamets is immediately accepting and acts like it's no big deal. What really makes it is that the dialogue makes clear this has nothing to do with the Trill symbiote, and Adira always felt they weren't a cisgender woman even before getting it.

** It's also very touching that Spock, who in life was often poorly treated by his fellow Vulcans first for his Human heritage and later for his affinity for Romulans has, in death, become a cultural icon for the inhabitants of Ni'Var with some speaking of him with the same reverence with which they would speak of Surak himself.

** And speaking of enemies becoming allies, [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Daniels mentioned to Captain Archer]] that the Klingons (the blood enemies of the Romulans) also joined the Federation. The fact that those two races put aside their mutual hatred to that degree exemplifies the highest ideals of the Federation.
