Star Trek: Lower Decks 2.04

Mugato, Gumato

Rutherford and Boimler hear a rumor that Mariner is actually a spy and believe it. All three are sent with Shaxs on an animal control mission to deal with some Mugatos, uni-horned white apes. They uncover a clandestine Ferengi operation but Boimler and Rutherford lose their cool when they think they see Mariner kill Shaxs.

Tendi is given a mission by Doctor T'ana to get DNA samples from the last 10 crew members that have yet to provide samples. Captain Freeman deals with a merchant whose ship comes apart when the Cerritos tries to stop it from leaving the area.

Thoughts

Keyshon, or at least someone that looks like Keyshon, appears in a couple scenes but doesn't have any lines. Jet Haverman makes another appearance but does not have any lines.

This was a fun episode. I love how Rutherford and and Boimler each wind up reinforcing the other's worst fears as they speculate about Mariner's true nature. Tendi's part of the story wasn't as strong as I hoped it would be.
