** Captain Lorca, the mysterious, plotting, vaguely threatening Captain, has a pet tribble in his ready room, which he keeps within a few feet of a bowl of fortune cookies. Either that thing devours them when he's not around, or Lorca is so menacing that he can keep a ''tribble'' away from a bowl of food.

* When they are trying to break open a door to get away from the alien monster trying (and slowly succeeding) to break down another door to get to them, Burnham asks for a phaser. Landry tells her that she doesn't get to have one, but after Burnham basically says she wants to distract it, Stamets almost instantly, silently tosses his over to her. Given how much he's shown to dislike her, one way to interpret his action is him thinking "The person I hate wants to be bait for a murderous monster? Be my guest".

* Saru complains that he can't get a solid lock with the ship's sensors to determine a mystery object's nature. Burnham's response is to physically crowd Saru off of his own station to read the sensor data out loud (mostly just giving off its position relative to ''Shenzou''. Saru bumps Burnham back out of the way and states that he cannot determine anything ''useful'' about it, as opposed to just reading numbers off of a screen like ''anyone'' could do. One gets the impression of a pair of bickering siblings, with Georgiou filing the role of an amused parent.
