Episode Summary

The Cerritos crew, mistakenly believing they're in an alien prison, are brought before the Fellow Primes for a "trial." Mariner, Rutherford, and Tendi testify about past incidents, revealing their lack of information on senior officers' actions. The "trial" turns out to be a celebration by Imperium Magistrate Clar, thanking them for rescuing him from Romulans. The episode highlights the crew's lower-deck status and their preference for less responsibility. It concludes humorously with Q's appearance, dismissed by the fatigued crew.
