* UnnecessarilyCruelRejection: Spock unwittingly triggers this when he asks Nurse Chapel why she never told him about her being accepted by a fellowship of scientists lead by Dr. Korby. In response, she sings "I'm Ready", basically telling him that she's going and if they have to break up, cool. This really devastates Spock and solidifies his role as TheStoic.

A little too well, it seems, as a wave of energy strikes the ''Enterprise'' and everyone on board. Pike races to the bridge and demands a status report... and Spock begins singing the "Status Report", followed by Chapel and M'Benga, and then the bridge crew, ending with Pike asking "But, why are we singing?!" In the ready room, the senior staff (and Jim Kirk) figure out what happened: the song Spock sent out accidentally dislodged an alternate reality of sorts and attached it to the ''Enterprise''. Don't worry, La'an and M'Benga, no turning into bunnies, just singing. Pelia notes the fold looks like a zipper and, using the analogy, Spock warns they can't leave lest they "unzip it" and he's going to get to work on a "zipper beam". As they work, Spock notices the correspondence to Chapel leading to Spock to wonder why he wasn't told. In a Jeffries Tube, Una and Kirk have made one of the modifications needed for the "zipper beam" before discussing how to be a First Officer. Una suggests that, instead of keeping his distance from his crew, he should embrace who he really is and "Connect To Your Truth", as expressed by a comedic-styled duet and waltz.

** Throughout the episode, the crew tries several different scientific methods of closing the fold, usually resulting in making it worse. It's only when they embrace the fact that they are in a musical and apply the laws of musical theatre that they are able to resolve the issue.
