Meanwhile, the whales have managed to find Boimler and return him to the surface, but he's not breathing! There's no time to get him to sickbay. Tendi leans over and desperately starts performing chest compressions. With a cough of water, Boimler sputters back to consciousness, clearly disoriented but otherwise himself.

* SimpleSolutionWontWork: Apparently warping around the debris is such a terrible idea that everyone on the bridge simultaneously chews out the guy who suggested it (and conveniently drowns out any specifics).

** The ''Cerritos'' manages to save the ''Archimedes'' from plunging into the planet's gravity well. This is a noted parallel to the first season finale, in which the ''Cerritos'' was the ship being saved. Boimler is, of course, instrumental, running a harrowing underwater gauntlet that allows ''Cerritos'' to make its play; his actions saved two entire ships.

SSWW is when a substantive expiation is given. One this self-aware of how lacking it is Hand Have.


* {{Handwave}}: One would think that just warping around the debris field would allow them to get to the ''Archimedes'' in time, but apparently it's such a terrible idea that everyone on the bridge minus the guy that suggested it (Kayshon) starts angrily shouting their objections all at once, conveniently preventing the audience from hearing why.

%%* Open Air Driver: The main viewscreen is taken off of the bridge so that they can optimize driving without the computer controls using their suits navigation and just calling out debris with line of sight. Mariner nearly falls out and a couple bits crack Ransom's suit but otherwise they make it through.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Boimler reports to Captain Freeman about the potential destruction the out of control ''Archimedes'' will cause if they don't stop it in time, he sounds dead serious. Then it's followed by Mariner, who's usually fast on her feet when it comes to creative solutions to problems...not knowing what to do for this.

* PerpWalk: When she is being arrested, Freeman tells the others not to tell the crew. Sadly, they had been waiting outside the conference room to celebrate her turning down her promotion, so they all get to see her cuffed and escorted out by Starfleet Security. Though it may seem excessive to humiliate Freeman in front of her crew this way, especially when transporters exist, TheReveal in the next episode shows that Starfleet has a good reason for wanting all the proceedings to be showy and public as possible.
