Burnham argues against telling the crew, as they need to believe they'll have something to come back to. Rillak in turn believes that telling them is important, as she has loved ones likewise under threat. Burnham ultimately allows Rillak to inform the crew after the initial danger has passed, letting her serve as a voice of stability for everyone.
