In Season 1, Episode 4, the cadets trade practical jokes for public debates, with Robert Picardo’s Doctor stepping in as their demanding—and highly opinionated—coach. But what begins as an academic exercise quickly escalates into a galaxy-level emergency—one that threatens to wipe out a familiar and famously controversial Star Trek species altogether.
Here’s everything to know about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1, Episode 4, airing Thursday, Jan. 29 on Paramount+.
This new Paramount+ series follows a group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers. But as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries and first loves, the cadets must also face a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.
