This week brings us to the seventh of this season’s Star Trek: Discovery episodes, and we’ve got a new round of photos from the tantalizingly-titled “Unification III” for you today!
The search for answers to the mystery of The Burn takes the Discovery to some Vulcans in this new episode, a sequel in title — and it is assumed, in story — to the two-part 1991 tale from Star Trek: The Next Generation — where Burnham must stand for the Federation in an effort to obtain new scientific data on the disaster.

The original “Unification” story focused around Ambassador Spock’s (Leonard Nimoy) efforts to bridge the divide between the long-separated Vulcan and Romulan civilizations; Spock later died (as far as the universe believes, at least) in an effort to save Romulus from the supernova which destroyed that planet in the 2009 Star Trek film — leading the the Romulan refugee diaspora seen in Star Trek: Picard earlier this year.
Here are five new photos from “Unification III” — barely revealing anything about the upcoming episode.
Finally, if you didn’t catch it at the end of “Scavengers,” here’s a new preview for the episode, and a clip from the opening moments of the episode from last week’s The Ready Room, where Tilly and Burnham discuss the data found on the three Starfleet ‘black box’ devices found after The Burn.
UNIFICATION III — While grappling with the fallout of her recent actions, and what her future might hold, Burnham agrees to represent the Federation in an intense debate about the release of politically sensitive – but highly valuable – Burn data.
