Star Trek: Lower Decks S4, E8 – “Caves”

This week’s episode, “Caves,” is many things at once. All of them are extremely enjoyable. It’s a bottle episode with a contained story wrapping up the development of our favorite Lower Deckers. It also prepares us as we dive into our mystery-solving season finale. Finally, it’s an endearing tale that reminds us of why we fell in love with Lower Decks in the first place: the goofy interaction of our original quartet.
