Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 E05: Spock's Not Quite Himself

Spock's DEFINITELY not himself in the following episode trailer for Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02E05 "Charades."

Thanks to Wil Wheaton's The Ready Room, we were treated to a preview of this week's episode of Paramount+'s Anson Mount (Pike), Rebecca Romijn (Una Chin-Riley) & Ethan Peck (Spock)-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. And at this point, we're not sure what's left that the streamer can use to sell you on what already looks like an impressive episode – one that's going to give Peck a chance to really flex those thespian muscles. Don't believe us? Well, we're pretty sure the following episode trailer will show you exactly what we mean…

In S02E05: "Charades" (written by Kathryn Lyn & Henry Alonso Myers), a shuttle accident results in Spock's DNA being removed by some aliens. Yup, that means he's fully human – and about to face T'Pring's (Gia Sandhu) family. Spock, without his Vulcan side to keep a flood of human emotions in check – what could go wrong? Well, you're about to get some clues to that very answer:

And here's a look back at the preview images that were released earlier today for this week's chapter:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2

Here's a look at what's ahead for the second season of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – followed by a rundown of what we previously learned about the new season:

In season two of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, confronts increasingly dangerous stakes, explores uncharted territories and encounters new life and civilizations. The crew will also embark on personal journeys that will continue to test their resolve and redefine their destinies. Facing friends and enemies both new and familiar, their adventures will unfold in surprising ways never seen before on any "Star Trek" series.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years that Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, following Pike, Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) during the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. The streaming series also stars Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga. The second season will also feature the return of special guest star Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk and new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia. Jack Quaid (Boimler) & Tawny Newsome (Mariner) from "Lower Decks" will be crossing over in a live-action way this season, directed by none other than Jonathan Frakes.

Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serve as co-showrunners. Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet serve as executive producers in addition to Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth.
