Freight Train of Obligation (Lower Decks S5E4)

When Mariner gets sent to Qo’noS to secretly scan season 5’s serialized plotline, she looks up Ma’ah and offers to help him regain his station. But while Boimler uses the letter of the law against the Klingon oversight council, Tendi and Rutherford expose the fraudulent Cloacan tasters aboard the Cerritos to save Dr. Migleemo’s career. Which song has the potential to cause a Peloton injury? How far along is Boimler on Adam’s facial-hair scale? Who should you not take advice about electric fences from? It’s the episode that proves Star Trek’s barrel of blood wine is not dry.
