What happens here will undoubtedly haunt future episodes.
After last week’s lighthearted crossover episode, thehas produced to date . In some ways, it’s been a long time coming. As fun an episode as “” — the season-two premiere — is, it’s laced with allusions to M’Benga and Chapel’s time serving together in the Klingon War, particularly their stint on J’Gal. After injecting themselves with an unknown substance — we learn the name in this episode — we witnessed them going into a berserker rage with an assurance that suggested they’d been there before.
But who is Rah? Is he a true Federation convert, or is that a convenient front? We learn he’s lied about at least part of his defection story, but does that mean he’s dishonest through and through? And, even so, does this matter when balanced against his good deeds? “Under the Shadow of War” never really answers the question.
Back in the present, Pike pays M’Benga a visit under the pretense of borrowing some Deltan parsley, which is apparently delicious in small measures but deadly in excess. M’Benga sees through the excuse and even seems to take it in stride when Pike tells him that he has orders for Klingon War veterans to make Rah feel welcome. To that end, he’s hosting a dinner for their guest and would like M’Benga and Chapel to attend. He doesn’t order them to, but it’s clearly important.
If he knew M’Benga’s background he undoubtedly would have reconsidered. It’s a tense session, one in which Rah proposes an alliance because of the powerful statement it sends. In turn, M’Benga asks if Rah really killed his own men to escape and defect. But he already knows the answer. But what exactly happened remains obscured, both to us and Chapel, who witnesses the incident behind a wall of opaque class and then testifies that Rah was the aggressor and grabbed the knife, forcing M’Benga to defend himself. She can’t know this for sure. But she testifies to it anyway. Whether she knows the truth, or even wants to, remains unclear. Pike’s shocked but seems to buy the story because DNA evidence confirms the knife as the property of the Butcher of J’Gal, which is true.
