In case you skip it...

Since McCoy spends most of this episode incapacitated, we get to meet Star Trek Continues’s version of Dr. M’Benga played by Martin Bradford.

And while this part only matters if you’re watching the two-star episodes, this episode also establishes that Drake has a prosthetic arm.

There’s an unimportant moment in the later episode “Embracing the Winds” that is really confusing unless you know this.
