Not Chapel being a poor match for Spock at chess while Kirk notes what he could’ve done before they even met! Foreshadowing future events!
Not Chapel shying away from the newly intimate nature of their relationship when Spock brings it up!
Not the closing of the episode being a First Contact ass handshake where he sits with Jim and Uhura for the very first time
NOT UHURA SMILING WHEN IT HAPPENS (Nyota being responsible for these two meeting is S tier actually).
Not the whole Chapel is similar to Kirk and La’an is similar to Spock romantic patterns folding over top of each other themes compounding all throughout the episode!
On TOP of being an excellent character study on what they’ve established about Uhura!
I am so HERE for this!
