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.

I wouldn't call it a huge miss, but I don't think the two stories could stand on their own in separate episodes, either. It was just a bit... meh. Definitely the low point for me in the season so far, though.

    I don't know, they could have gone all in one the Khionian culture and his past and it might have worked. Instead we got a wedding I didn't care enough about. Likewise, the plot of "an empty school over the holidays" could have worked on its own. As I wrote somewhere else, with a show including Paul Giamatti, I was immediately reminded of the Holdovers. Two students and Reno, would have been a great setup I think. Instead, we got some hasty character "development".
