In the Mirror Universe, Emperor Georgiou is determined to alter history. After sparing her life, she continues her efforts to get Michael Burnham to pledge allegiance to her. Burnham finally gives in. Whereas Lorca remains untraceable, she agrees to kill all other co-conspirators. In the meantime, Georgiou has revealed to Saru that his upcoming vahar'ai doesn't mean the end of his life. As the ISS Discovery has intercepted a vessel with a co-conspirator who is still in contact with Lorca, Burnham uses the chance to turn against Georgiou again. But officers who are still loyal to the Emperor, plus Saru and fellow Kelpiens, quickly put down the rebellion. Georgiou is forced to kill Burnham - and wakes up in the 32nd century again. The whole scenario was a test, arranged by Carl, who reveals to be the Guardian of Forever. After being misused in the Temporal Wars, the Guardian wanted to assure itself of Georgiou's good intentions. After passing the test, Georgiou is sent to a time when the Prime and the Mirror Universe were still aligned. She is officially listed as deceased. On the Discovery, Booker installs an Emerald Chain device that allows to establish a link with the Kelpien vessel inside the Verubin nebula, to Admiral Vance's displeasure.
