** When Burnham suggests injecting Tardigrade DNA into a human to operate the spore drive, Saru points out that genetic modifications are illegal under Federation Law. Blame one Khan Noonien Singh and his ilk for that being outlawed.

* IgnoredExpert: Burnham, Tilly, Culber, and Stamets all try to warn Saru that using the spore drive is harming Ripper-- and Saru ignores all of them and orders them to prepare for another jump. Ripper responds by putting itself in a state of hibernation after it makes another jump, and Saru keeps pushing for it to be woken up anyway. Only when Lorca is rescued does Saru realize how badly he messed up.
* InadequateInheritor: An implied case with Saru. Because of his lack of experience in command, having only served as a science officer under Georgiou and then being made First Officer of ''Discovery'' for presumably six months or so, he feels that he lacks the capabilities of being a captain. He has the ship's computer work up a program to measure his response against five of Starfleet's most decorated captains (including three of whom commanded an ''Enterprise'') at the time, but even he realizes the mistake he made and deletes the program. He later admits to Burnham that he felt unready because he never got the chance to study under Georgiou the way she did, and much of his hostility towards her stemmed from being jealous of her having that privilege.

** Saru himself comes to realize that Burnham was right about Ripper, despite her disobeying his orders, when he sees how far he was willing to put the poor Tardigrade's life in danger.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It turns out that using Ripper to continuously power the Spore Drive is killing it. Burnham points this out to Saru, but he orders her to wait until Captain Lorca is rescued. Burnham then goes behind his back to tell Stamets, which only results in Saru confining Burnham to quarters and having Ripper used anyway. The last jump Ripper performs is enough to send the creature into a defensive state that Saru orders Stamets to wake him out of, regardless of the harm it may cause to the creature. Stamets then injects himself with Tardigrade DNA to spare Ripper from that fate, which saves ''Discovery'', but nearly kills himself in the process. Saru comes to realize his mistake.

** Mudd gives a very scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Lorca, claiming Starfleet starting this war is screwing over people like him who have nothing to do their little ventures into the stars. He even says that the Klingons wouldn't have gone to war if Starfleet hadn't ventured out near their territory.
** Saru is very displeased with Burnham going behind his back to get Stamets to stop using the Spore Drive for Ripper's sake, and harshly points out that it was that very same behavior that got Captain Georgiou killed. He then confines her to quarters and orders Stamets to use Ripper.

* MeaningfulLook: In the bridge scene with Culber, Stamets, and Saru, Stamets agrees to get the spore drive working (implying the torture and possible death of the tardigrade) right after Culber has said he won't be party to the murder of a sentient being. The camera lingers on the couple long enough to show that Culber shoots a "say what???" look to his partner and Stamets responds with a "don't worry, I have a plan" raised eyebrow.
