** Stamets is trying to get over his NonActionGuy role in the prior season's finale, feeling guilty over his complete inability to save his family (Culber, Adira and Grey) and a little bit resentful of Book for doing it instead.

* DecliningPromotion: Saru is offered the position of captain on the ''Sojourner'', but declines because he feels his place is on ''Discovery'' during this crisis.
* DudeNotFunny: Lampshaded by Stamets when he makes a ThrownOutTheAirlock joke around Burnham, given that was a sore point between them last season. Though he's gotten over it, he acknowledges the joke was in poor taste.
* EasilyForgiven: Stamets makes a joke about [[Recap/StarTrekDiscoveryS3E12ThereIsATide shooting him out into space]], getting looks from everyone around. It's quite clear he's calmed down from being pissed off at Burnham over that stunt. In fact, he's actually angrier at himself for not being able to save his family at the time.

* GravityScrew: The ArtificialGravity aboard ''Discovery'' is overwhelmed twice during their study of the anomaly as gravitational waves impact the ship, causing the crew to float helplessly for a few seconds until the system adapts. Nilsson warns after the second time that if they get hit again the generators will blow out for good.

* NegativeSpaceWedgie: The titular anomaly is speculated to be a strange sort of binary black hole, casting gravitational distortions over a five-light-year area as the two collide and consume one-another. When investigated, however, it lacks any evidence of dual singularities and can change course absent any apparent external force, leaving only more questions as to what it is.
* OhCrap: Tilly explaining to Saru that, for some unknown reason, the anomaly changed its course, meaning it could at any moment do so again and there's no way to predict its course or who it might threaten.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Burnham tries to guide Book through a precise manoeuvre to escape the anomaly. The first time she calls for him to go, he hesitates and asks her if she's sure. She says yes and he goes, but by then, a good five or ten seconds have passed; instead of [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talking being a free action]], the moment is lost. Fortunately, he gets a second shot and trusts her unconditionally, getting the timing right and escaping with the data.
