Star Trek: Discovery | Season 4 Episode 9 ”Rubicon”
Well, it's time for the rubber (or starship nacelles) to meet the road (or hard vacuum). Michael and the crew of DISCO attempt to ambush Book and Ruon Tarka as they are building the explosive isolytic device (using the tracker Michael planted). The Federation, concerned about Michael's closeness to Book, put someone on the bridge that will make the hard choice if she can't do it when the time arises. And it's none other than Commander Nhan (back from her Barzan rumspringa)!
Of course, when they make the attempt to infiltrate Book's ship, Tarka has secretly added new security protocols that almost lead to the death of some major crew members. And then, they jump away to the DMA with their bomb.
Then DISCOVERY follows suit and the hunt is on. Michael still thinks she can reason with Book – but Nhan has a Federation-approved last resort plan (the only downside is... it'd kill Book, almost assuredly).
And thus do they dance within the anomaly. Violence meets violence; tactic meets tactic – a stalemate of manoeuvring that can only lead to some climactic conclusion. Who, indeed, will be the first to cross the proverbial Rubicon, to make the deadliest move, and go past the point of no return?!?!
