Starfleet Academy Episode 107 "Ko'Zeine" Preview: Duty vs. Dreams

Taking off the uniform doesn't always mean the pressure is off.

In fact, for the students of Starfleet Academy, heading home might be the most grueling mission they’ve faced yet.

Episode 107, “Ko'Zeine,” beams in this Thursday, shifting the focus from the dangers of deep space to the complex ties of home and heritage. While last week's life-or-death struggle on an abandoned ship proved they could survive together, this week’s holiday break challenges whether they can stand on their own against the weight of family expectations. Here's the official synopsis for episode 107.

"Ko'Zeine" Episode Synopsis:

As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future -- including an aspiring captain who's secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he's ready.

"Ko'Zeine" is written by Alex Taub & Eric Anthony Glover and directed by Andi Armaganian.
