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.

Another week, another episode I enjoyed. I’m not super sure how Genesis didn’t think they were going to get caught when they activated the impulse and warp engines.
I don’t know what is happening between Jay-Den and Darem but I am here for it.
First thing I thought was that the ship was going to be in Academy Mode because it was obviously landed and not in space, which we saw earlier seems to be able to simulate just about any scenario. Which would also explain why it was accepting commands from cadets without question.
I thought maybe that access card she made out of programmable matter was allowing her to do it, but who knows.
The more I think about that scene, the more I feel that she was trying to get caught in a situation that gave her no alternative to tell the truth. She feels like a character that’s hiding too much for her own good.
