In https://screenrant.com/star-trek-discovery-season-5-episode-5-ending-explained/, Detmer and Owosekun were assigned to pilot the Mirror Universe’s ISS Enterprise to Federation HQ by Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green).

Yeah, I never thought it was anything deeper than that they’re working Canadian actors who probably had other projects. I looked both of them up because someone in another group I frequent was chirping about it, and Emily Coutts recently wrote and directed her own short film, and Oyin Oladejo got to play the lead in an indie thriller.
It is nice to see Nhan is going to be in the finale. Hopefully they Owo and Detmer are back from their adventures aboard the ISS Enterprise and able to show up as well.

My current completely unfounded theory is that he’s going to use the Progenitor tech to evolve himself – in the Star Trek (derogatory) sense of the word – to the point where he sees the koala and is able to use his powers to stop whatever final confrontation there is.
Assuming that actually is Eric J. Robbins in the comments on that article, he’s the co-writer on the episode, and he’s claiming the librarian is an Efrosian.

My first thought whenever the topic of what episode a person should to introduce Trek to someone comes up is “The Measure of a Man”. Though perhaps a courtroom drama, while certainly something Trek dabbles with on multiple occasions, is not typical enough to fall under the umbrella of conventional.
Maybe something like “Children of the Comet” from season one of SNW. There’s a strange mystery that’s going to spell disaster for a pre-warp civilization, an alien of the week antagonist whom the Enterprise crew needs to figure out how to deal with without getting into a fight, and everything’s neatly wrapped up by the end. The biggest mark against it would be the subplot where Pike’s dealing with the knowledge that he’s going to end up in a beep chair.
I don’t disagree, but I do believe that when we think about what Star Trek is, what it boils down to is an episodic procedural, despite how serialized it can be at times.
