Tendi heads home to resolve some lingering family drama. Join your Chalnoth-snuggling hosts as they revel in long-neglected Orion world-building, traditional storylines with creative twists, and a clever (if somewhat distasteful) new contraction of the term “pheromones”.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Lower Decks’ fourth season with “Empathalogical Fallacies”

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
