The Klingon breakdown in the final song about had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears. I appreciate using the songs to move various character storylines forward. It feels like everyone ended the episode in a much better place, outside of Spock. ...and maybe M'Benga...he didn't seem thrilled with the singing, though he certainly had some fancy footwork during the final song.
I feel like poor La'an is in a worse place now. She just doesn't get a break. :(
On the other hand, she made a breakthrough in actually opening up to Kirk, and he didn't reject her for it. If anything, him being unavailable for other reasons may be a relief to La'an, releasing her to focus on other things now that she knows that door is closed to her (at least for now).
Yeah, I guess.
But also, jealousy can be a difficult emotion to deal with, and La'an already had to deal with a lot this and past season. But then again, she's a tough one.
