JUNE 7, 2022 - After last week’s episode of Strange New Worlds gave us some more of the relationship between Spock and T’Pring, this week’s episode will feature a relationship from Captain Pike’s past.
In episode six of SNW, a threat to an idyllic planet reunites Captain Pike with the lost love of his life. To protect her and a scientific holy child from a conspiracy, Pike offers his help and is forced to face unresolved feelings of his past.
The episode is entitled, “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach,” and it was written by Robin Wasserman and Bill Wolkoff. It was directed by Andi Armaganian. Wasserman co-wrote “Spock Amok” from last week, and Wolkoff co-wrote episode three, “Ghosts of Illyria.” Armaganian directed the Star Trek: Discovery season four episode, “Rubicon.”
This week’s photos feature our heroes, including Pike, Una, Spock, Uhura, Chapel, and M’Benga. We also get a sneak peek at Lindy Booth as Alora, Ian Ho as the First Servant, and Huse Madhavji as Elder Gamal. Booth was a series regular in The Librarians, alongside Rebecca Romijn, and she also appeared in The Flash and Supernatural. Genre fans might also know Ho, who recently appeared in The Expanse.
“Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” drops this Thursday, June 9, on Paramount+.
