In the next episode of "Star Trek: Discovery," Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) is captured by the Klingons and taken to their ship.
The latest trailer for the next installment titled "Choose Your Pain" showed Lorca's transport ship getting drawn in by the Klingons' tractor beam. The Starfleet vessel seemingly was unaware that the enemy was nearby and planned to intercept them with Lorca onboard. Once inside the large enemy ship, the Klingons immediately enter the transport ship and apprehend Lorca and his crew. This prompts the U.S.S Discovery to take action at once and find a way to retrieve Lorca and the crew. Saru (Doug Jones) and Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) seemingly have a plan to save them by using spore technology to transport him back.
Meanwhile, Lorca is taken to his prison cell on the ship and befriends a mysterious cellmate named Harry Mudd (Rainn Wilson). The fellow prisoner tells Lorca that if he wants to survive, then it would be in his best interest to follow Mudd because he is a survivor. However, in the last scene, Lorca is seen getting interrogated by the Klingons and tortured as well. It remains to be seen if Saru and the team will be able to save Lorca just in time.
In the previous episode, the Discovery was able to save an outpost on Corvan 2 from a fleet of attacking Klingons by using the tardigrade creature that they caught on a previous mission. The creature, which Burnham named Ripper, was able to navigate the space spores and travel at once to Corvan 2, and rescue the Starfleet outpost.
The Klingon ships were destroyed and Burnham was able to determine the nature of Ripper and how the Discovery could use it on future missions.
"Star Trek: Discovery" season 1 episode 5 will air on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 8:30 p.m. EDT on CBS All Access.
