Plotline
Book receives a distress signal from his brother Kyheem, saying that their home planet Kwejian is being threatened by the Emerald Chain, a syndicate of Andorians and Orions led by Osyraa. Kwejian's harvests have been devastated by locusts following climate change caused by the Burn. Kyheem made a deal with Osyraa to repel the locusts in exchange for giving her access to Kwejian's trance worms. This caused a rift between Book, who wanted to protect the worms, and his brother.
Civilizations that receive help from the Emerald Chain often collapse, so Discovery is allowed to go to Kwejian. Kyheem reveals to Book and Burnham that Osyraa wants the return of Ryn, an Andorian servant that was freed in their prison break on Hunhau. Kyheem agrees to disobey Osyraa in exchange for Discovery and the Federation helping to repel the locusts. Discovery keeps Osyraa from taking Ryn by attacking her with Book's ship, but she sees through the ruse and promises retaliation against the Federation before retreating.
Meanwhile, Georgiou appears to be ill and is experiencing blackouts and flashbacks.
