As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ready.

The swing from the last episode to this is crazy. I enjoy a good backstory, but was hoping there would have been something more interesting on the side quests. Maybe at the academy there is some systems failure and they have to camp outside idk… our maybe the wedding starts and there is a murder they need to solve… Anything… Backstory stuff is ok, but when the seasons are only like 10 episodes, I’m not sure they are with it.
Overall, yes I enjoyed this episode. Would i slip it on rewatch, likely.
