** And there's the debate over what to do about Zora. Stamets points out how a sentient computer in absolute control of a starship could be disastrous (bringing up the apocalypse that Control nearly caused), with Kovich agreeing that there are regulations against it (and one can see why, given [[Recap/StarTrekS2E24TheUltimateComputer the M-5 disaster]] and the [[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS3E10TheStarsAtNight ''Texas''-class debacle]]), but Adira and Gray defend Zora by pointing out that she ''is'' sentient and benevolent and shouldn't be terminated simply out of fear.

Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* HopeSpot: What appears to be the hopeful message of unity saves the day in the midseason finale. Stamets and Zora agree to work with each other on building mutual trust, and the latter rewards his honesty expressing concern over her by finally relinquishing the co-ordinates ''Discovery'' needs and agreeing to take an oath to serve Starfleet. After Rillak pushes Michael into delivering a RousingSpeech at the summit, the vote favors diplomacy over shooting first. Everything’s fine! Then Tarka steals the next-generation spore drive and installs it in Book's ship, and they escape to attack the DMA.

* ConflictingLoyalty: This hits Burnham big time with Book, as his more militant attitude toward the DMA conflicts with her Starfleet ideals yet she wants to support him. In the climax, she very nearly lets him and Tarka make their case without counter-argument, only standing up at the last moment because Rillak silently pushes her into saying something.

* IdealistVsPragmatist: The core conflict is between Book (and the "Let's Blow Up The DMA" faction) and Burnham (and the "Let's Make Peaceful Contact With Species 10-C" faction).

Added DiffLines:

* ThreeLawsCompliant: An odd defiance. Zora's refusal to relinquish the coordinates of Species 10-C violates the second law (to obey any order from a human) and her willingness to be terminated if she rebels violates the third (to act in self-preservation), but it turns out that she's given herself a new set of rules that still enforce benevolence towards others.
-->'''Kovich:''' Zora, I must point out that your willingness to terminate yourself runs counter to your core programming.\\
'''Zora:''' No, it doesn't, Doctor.\\
'''Kovich:''' State your primary function, please.\\
'''Zora:''' To care for the crew of ''Discovery''.\\
'''Stamets:''' That's not the core programming of a ship's computer. Who gave you those parameters?\\
'''Zora:''' I did.
