The more I think about it, the more I feel like the Spock/Chapel relationship went really quick, though with only 10 episodes a year it could be stretched out over many months. After a ~year of seeming interested in him, they got together four episodes ago. Two episodes ago she was broken up about not seeming to have a lasting effect on Spock. Last episode she just wanted to be left alone. And in this one she sings a big number about basically how now that she's got a cool three-month job offer she's ready to drop him like a sack of potatoes.

Coming back yet yet again to Spock/Chapel... whatever the problem was between them, it feels like she's using the internship as an excuse. Seems like every third person on the ship is in a long-distance relationship. The captain, for instance. Sam is married with kids! But a three-month internship would necessitate breaking it off with somebody? Of course, I'm speaking from a position of greater knowledge, where I know this internship leads to... her doing the same stuff on the Enterprise for another decade, just sometimes much more quietly.
Speaking of relationships that seem to have largely happened off-screen, Uhura and Hemmer. Back in season 1 we saw one episode where they worked together in a big way, but this is now the second episode this season where Uhura has referenced how close they got and what a huge impact he had on her.
