About this episode

The episode explores the adventures of cadets during All-Worlds Day break, including a risky portal journey and a reception speech that causes tension among characters.

When the cadets leave campus for All-Worlds Day break, Darem gets ritually abducted and Jay-Den makes an extremely risky decision to follow him through a random portal. But after Caleb stays aboard the Athena and Genesis gets them both in trouble over nothing, Jay-Den gives a reception speech so targeted that it pushes the happy couple to the point of abdication. How does a Klingon wear a speedo? What’s been working fine on Star Trek for 60 years? Which species gets more exposition than the Khionians?
