A steep plunge downward

This episode took the series on a deep plunge toward cliche melodrama. Suddenly we have a PTSD head of security who crumbles at a wiff of Klingon. Probably not a good idea to send him to the Klingon ship then, or have him in any position of power. And The Navigator, - "just one more jump, I looked pretty good after doing 160 jumps so I should be fine, with just one more, suddenly I'm messed up.... ". The whole episode was chocker full of trite and poorly thought out plot points and it felt a little bit insulting to be honest. writers Bo Yeon Kim & Erika Lippoldt, and director Chris Byrne haven't helmed an episode yet and maybe this should be their last.
