If it was not for the two rapid use of the four letter word I would say this was the most traditional Trek like episode of Discovery.
Captain Lorca is travelling on a shuttle without much of an escort and is captured by the Klingons and tortured. They easily find out his eyes do not like bright lights. In the Klingon ship he encounters the untrustworthy Harry Mudd and Lt Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) who been imprisoned in the ship for six months.
Saru is now tasked to locate and rescue Lorca but feels threatened by Burnham and he needs the ship working at full speed. This means the Tardigrade needs to function properly. Burnham realises that the Tardigrade is in pain and may even die if it has to continue propelling the ship.
Stamets who so far has appeared to be a bit of an arrogant douchebag actually gets some character development as he too shows concern about the Tardigrade but also makes a significant move in advancing the spore propulsion system. Stamets also has a close relationship with the ship's doctor despite their differences of opinion.
Saru is also different from the first episode where he appeared more to be the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz. Here as acting captain he is willing to breach Starfleet rules and even hurt a sentient being to rescue a Lorca. However did he ever think the state of the ship and Starfleet if the Tardigrade died?
Shazad Latif whose name has been on the titles from the first episode finally joins the cast but given he has survived torture for six months, was a favourite of the female Klingon on the ship, the audience certainly has to doubt his loyalties.
