Two good episodes in a row, and they're still in the evil universe. I'm not going to say this show is overall good yet, but it's certainly looking up. Of course, they could ruin it any minute by returning to the regular universe and going straight back to how it was before.

| They execute traitors by beaming them into space, which is very convenient. |
So Michael's still pretending to be evil Captain Michael and she's ordered to go kill a bunch of rebels. She's not keen on doing that, obviously, so she comes up with a plan to go visit and warn them so they can evacuate, and she brings along security guy. She also wants to ask the rebels how they all manage to get along, given that some of them are Klingons, which seems kind of racist. What, Klingons can't ever get along with others?

| Sarek's there, because why even have a mirror universe otherwise? |
Anyway, security guy snaps and attacks the Klingon because, as many had already speculated, he was actually the albino Klingon in disguise this whole time. And somehow Starfleet's medical scans never detected that. Even when the doctor did the better scan in the previous episode it still didn't show "Klingon in disguise".

| He snaps because the evil him isn't as xenophobic. |
So then he tries to kill Michael, because he now remembers her killing his old boss, and he's just incredibly dumb; he has no way of getting back home without the Discovery and no way of getting back there without Michael. But the evil universe version of Saru (who's Michael's slave) stops him, and he's sentenced to death by spacing. Which is real handy because Michael slips a disk full of the info they're looking for into his pocket and signals the Discovery to come pick him up. But she and the captain are hanging around to, I guess, see if they can get any more useful information, so they get to see the other big reveal of this episode, which is that Michelle Yeoh is the evil emperor.

| A lot of people saw this one coming too. |
Meanwhile, back on the Discovery, Tilly has an idea for how to cure fungus guy and Saru lets her try it out - side note: This scene followed one with them talking to Michael where Tilly had to pretend to be Captain Killy, and when it cut back to the Discovery I forgot for a moment that Saru actually outranks her - but it ends up killing him. Or does it? He's pronounced dead, but then he starts twitching and we see that in his mind he's meeting himself in some weird spore universe. Presumably it's the evil universe version of him. Guess we'll see more of this next episode.

| Is he also dead, I wonder? |
