Star Trek: Discovery continues this week with “Light and Shadows,” the seventh episode of the season, and we’ve got a set of new photos from the journey home to Vulcan — and the long-awaited arrival of Spock to the series.
This week we’ll see Michael Burnham (Sonqeua Martin-Green) return to the home of Sarek (James Frain) and Amanda (Mia Kirshner) on Vulcan, last seen in flashbacks in the season premiere “Brother,” and our first in-episode look at Spock (Ethan Peck) after half a season of searching.
We also get to see Burnham paying a visit to Section 31 agent Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) in a mysterious corridor, while Tilly (Mary Wiseman), Stamets (Anthony Rapp), Saru (Doug Jones), Tyler (Shazad Latif) and Pike (Anson Mount) work aboard the USS Discovery.
And in case you missed it, here’s the video preview for the episode, which features Pike, Tyler, and Discovery chasing a dangerous spatial anomaly, and Burnham both quoting from Alice in Wonderland and fighting Section 31 agent Georgiou.

LIGHT AND SHADOWS — Burnham goes to Vulcan in search of Spock, where she unearths surprising family secrets. In researching what is left of the Red Angel’s signal over Kaminar, Pike and Tyler end up in battle with time itself. Georgiou has a few tricks up her sleeve for Leland and Section 31.
The episode features a story by Vaun Wilmott & Ted Sullivan, with teleplay by Ted Sullivan, and is directed by series newcomer Marta Cunningham, who also happens to be the wife of Discovery actor James Frain.
“Light and Shadows” debuts this Thursday on CBS All Access and Space, and beams to Netflix around the world on Friday.
