SAM is not okay, maman. In fact, no one is. Gotta call in Tilly, maman. DO a little Our Town. Emily can't come back, but Tarima can. But what if there are two ghost girls? It's a Real Life tearjerker, maman.

Okay, maman, so Jay-Den is Darem's Ko'Zeine, but will he co-sign this Khionian lifestyle design? We also have warp slugs, altered recommendation letters, and long, lingering silences that are sure to cause rifts!

Fire up your singularity drive, maman! It's time for the tiny fireflies because there are Furies who hate being Furies and they're in pain all the time, maman. It's rough! Plus there are twists and stuff being pulled out of necks and some rough revelations about sons and the sacrifices people make along the way! Powerful episode, maman!

Good day, Cadet Maman! It's time for your academy orientation! We'll be discussing the first two episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy! Get to know your fellow students, Maman. Reacquaint yourself with an old friend. It won't be a perfect experience, but it will be pretty enriching, Maman.

Maman! Hey, Maman! I'm glad we caught you! I wanted to invite you to take a trip with Effie and myself to New York City of 1968. Specifically 811 East 68th Street, Apt 12B – a quite extraordinary apartment with an exceptional new tenant – Class 1 supervisor 194 – Codename: Gary Seven. He, his "cat" Isis and his secretary Roberta Lincoln will be taking over the season 2 finale of Star Trek – and while they were making it, they may have even thought it would the series finale. Crazy times call for crazy parachutes, Maman.
