Jonathan Frakes directs and we have an obvious link to an ST: Enterprise alternate universe episode overrun by the Terran Empire.
Meek Cadet Tilly now has to pretend to be the tigerish Captain Tilly, while Burnham shows an upstart in the mirror universe who is boss. However it is a stretch to think in such a violent mirror universe you will come across so many familiar people, the timeline in such brutal worlds would diverge so much.
More intriguingly the plot line regarding security chief Tyler has resolved quickly. It seems he is a mind washed physically altered Klingon who kills the ship's doctor while Stamets just helplessly watches.
In space a gay character cannot be happy.
