-: The Vulcan Science Academy
offered me a permanent teaching position.
I said yes.
-: What's wrong?
-: I saw Hugh in the network.
He helped pilot Discovery out of the Terran universe,
he saved us all.
Astromycology has taught me that nothing is ever truly gone.
You are hosting a eukaryotic organism.
-: A fungus?
-: This might hurt a bit.
(whirring) (screaming)
-: It won't let go!
-: Tilly!
No!
-: There's a chance Ensign Tilly is still alive.
-: There is, sir.
Every time we jump,
Discovery passes through the mycelial network.
I'm proposing we do a partial jump.
Discovery will hold position long enough
for me to leave the cube and find Tilly.
(gasping)
Hugh?
I brought him here.
Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed.
His energy passed through me
while I was the link to the network.
Discovery, this is Stamets.
We've picked up a hitchhiker.
It's accessing our ship's data core.
-: You kept all my things.
-: I tried to pack it, it was too hard.
Here,
asopao.
I'm just tryin' to help.
I'll do anything.
Please tell me how-- -: I don't know what to do!
-: Look, just come home and...
-: It's not my home anymore, Paul.
-: Wormholes are inherently unstable,
so the angel needs to hold them open.
We can question her and nothing from the future
will be able to reach us.
-: Wanted to say I'm sorry. -: Thank you.
Once Commander Burnham takes this ship
to wherever she's going,
I'm thinking I might take a break from starships.
I passed up a job at the Vulcan Science Academy
a few months ago.
Or maybe I'll just live on a station for a while.
-: Has the shuttlebay been evacuated?
-: Yes, Commander.
-: The housing is prepped.
I need that last panel!
-: Right here.
(explosions) (screaming)
-: We're good.
Oh.
-: No, no, Commander!
Oh my god, oh my god.
-: Get him to sickbay, I'm gonna clean up this mess
so nobody else gets impaled.
-: Hi. -: Hugh?
-: thought I could make my home on Enterprise.
Then I realized that
you're my home, so I came back.
Wherever we go from here, we go together.
We're on our way, Paul.
We're on our way.
