This episode is all over the place. You've got the Kaylon flashbacks, which are cool but don't really make much sense until later, there's this idiotic plot with these matriarchal aliens (hey you know what would be a good idea when trying to forge an alliance with an alien species? Start with a little honesty.), the Kaylon who feels feelings jammed in with Burke and Isaac and Finn, and then you have this contrived storyline with LaMarr and Keyali wedged in the middle there. The connections between the multiple subplots are flimsy at best, and they each have plenty of holes in them.
And the ending… telling them that Grayson was unfaithful to Mercer but still became his first officer is common ground? What does that even mean? Then Isaac is somehow able to instantaneously adapt to having emotions?
