In this review, we take a dive into the third episode of the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery, titled Jinaal. Wilson Cruz delivers a commanding performance as Hugh Culber/Jinaal, while Commander Rayner, albeit reluctantly, gets to know the crew of the Discovery. You won't want to miss a detail of this episode as we unpack and analyze it all.

On Trill, Captain Burnham, Book, and Culber must pass a dangerous test to prove themselves worthy of the next clue. Adira reconnects with Gray and Saru’s first day as ambassador is complicated by his engagement to T'Rina.
