I thought Lower Decks couldn't top the S02E09 episode but oh boy how wrong I was! This easily could fit in ST TNG or DS9 as one of the TOP episodes. It just felt right, it felt like good old Star Trek all characters on Cerritos are likable! This is how I imagine Starfleet vessel and its crew ! Also had an original way for saving the day and everyone from Cerito's crew mattered! This episode left me literally in tears! Also had a little bit of mystery for Rutherford and ended with a big cliffhanger - so does that's mean Pakled's isn't so dumb after all!? I didn't have any hope for lover Decks after S02E01 but LD managed to turn 360o around improving every episode and ending just brilliantly!
