Interesting episode.
I was genuinely surprised that the alien entity ended up having a misguided benevolent need to take care of Jeremy after his mother became the last victim of a war between an organic race living on the planet. They could have easily gone the other way with the alien entity causing the destruction of the organic race and feeding upon human energy.
I feel for Jeremy in this one. Being reconnected with your dead mother who is actually an alien entity would be a crushing trauma to endure.
I liked the Worf scenes and the Klingon approach to dealing with loss.
This one explores the trauma of loss and the process of dealing with it in an organic/believable manner with respect. I've experienced loss and it takes years to work through that stuff ---- but the general idea of acceptance and relying upon those around you is a solid message to convey.
