Throughout Strange New Worlds season 3, we've seen just how far the crew of the Enterprise will go for the ones they love - and that's been proven more than anything in the finale episode.
Thankfully, we have two more seasons ahead of us, with season 4 having already completed filming. But, as the show bows out for now, here's everything you need to know about how Strange New Worlds season 3 ended.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 ending explained - What happened to Marie Batel?
In episode 5, the crew first encountered the Beholder statue on Vadia IX at an ancient site which turned out to be a temporally shifted prison for the Vezda.
In the same episode, Ensign Dana Gamble (Chris Myers) was killed by the Vezda, who then inhabited his body on board the Enterprise. While Scotty (Martin Quinn) contained the Vezda in an orb, we were warned that, had it escaped, it could have freed all of the Vezda who had been incarcerated.
But things quickly get worrying when Scotty discovers that Dana Gamble's (Chris Myers) DNA pattern was rebuilt from emergency backups, and left the ship without anyone knowing. As for where Gamble could be now? Skygowan, of course.
Back on the Enterprise, Spock (Ethan Peck), Pelia (Carol Kane), and Scotty notice an inter-dimensional "lane line" connecting Vadia IX to Skygowan, suggesting that's how the entity inhabiting Gamble's body reached the Vezda prison – and ultimately meaning it could potentially unleash all the incarcerated Vezda on Skygowan.
Korby suggests there will be more containment orbs through the gateway, but something else grabs M'Benga's (Babs Olusanmokun) attention: he reveals his life story is written in Swahili on the gate. He suggests it's down to destiny – that he has to stop the Vezda due to his personal bond with Gamble.
Inside, Gamble starts to lash out at the Beholder statue – and, with every blow, Batel appears to become injured. It quickly becomes clear that the pair are somehow linked and, after Chapel runs some tests, she discovers that the DNA signatures from the statue and from Batel are identical. Somehow, Batel actually is the Beholder.
She suggests that she was the one to lock away the Vezda all those aeons ago. When Pike asks how that could have been possible, Spock points out that, when talking about inter-dimensional events, cause and effect can be reversed.
What happened to the Vezda?
Afterwards, Batel goes to face Gamble. After some trouble with opening the portal, Spock mind melds with Kirk (Paul Wesley) to allow both starships to fire at the temple, hitting it with enough power to open it.
Batel easily vanquishes Gamble, leaving the rest of the Vezda in their prison, and vanishes into light, finally transforming into the Beholder for good, to stand guard and stop evil being unleashed on the universe.
Was Batel and Pike's alternate life together real?
As Batel prepares to fight back, we her and Pike in another life, in which they're married, and have promised to enjoy however much time they have together before his inevitable accident. For one anniversary, Batel gifts Pike an apron with 'Chef Pike' written on the front.
With Pike avoiding the accident in this lifetime, he and Batel celebrate anniversaries, as well as their daughter's engagement (to Robert April's son Eli).
She tells him to open the door, where he finds Gamble looking back at him, and he's transported back to reality, before Batel faces down the Vezda.
What happened to the rest of the crew?
After Batel's defeat of Gamble, the season wraps up pretty quickly.
Finally, it's revealed that Korby's research unveiled many uncharted planets – enough for a five-year mission – with Pike ordering Ortegas to whisk them away.
