Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 2 is returning, and the very Episode 1 teases of strange energies making their way. Last year, the show left us quite away. We thought its high time it was either one of the characters getting a promotion or all of them. But towards the second half of the finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 1, it changed it all. First of all, Beckett and Captain Carol’s big secret of relationship was blown. Now when Beckett decided to move on with a promotion, that too was affected when an unexpected attacked intervened. Thus, leaving the Cerritos taking drastic measures.
Apart from Beckett’s troubles, there was Tendi, who met a new robot friend who towards the end, went on to betray the whole crew. Rutherford turned out to be her only true friend who went to all limits to save the ship from the attack of Pickles. What seemed like the final day of Cerritos as the Packleds totally was totally outgunning them. There was Beckett’s ultimate plan and a friend who made it in time that saved the day. So what does this mean for the Cerritos moving on, lets find out.
Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 1 Finale Recap
Last time on Star Trek: Lower Decks, we opened up at a place called Beta III. Here the people worshipped a violent god called Landru, who made them kill each other. Until Kirk figured out it was a computer, and today they started worshipping him again. So the team was here to fix things again. While Carol and Jack returned back to ship, Ensign Beckett and Brad were left behind. While the ship observes them, Brad accidentally reveals the secret of Beckett being the daughter of Captain Carol. Now the whole ship knows it.
Throughout the episode, Beckett is addressed as Carol’s daughter, and it irks her. So she figures out a way to get herself on Sacramento. A place where nobody would know her and things would get back to normal. Meanwhile, Tendi spends time with a new recruit, a robot named Peanut Hamper. She wonders a robot with no hands and feet could work here. But Peanut Hamper manages to outdo all the jobs meaning this marks Tendi’s victory.
