 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.
