This week marks the finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season one. With teaser photos now available, it seems Paramount+ is teasing a huge confrontation to bring the first season to a close. Do we trust Tatiana Maslany’s Anisha? Or could she secretly be working with Nus (Paul Giamatti)? We’ll find out with the latest episode streams globally this Thursday on Paramount+.

This week’s finale, “Rubincon”, is written by Alex Kurtzman & Kirsten Beyer from a story by Noga Landau & Gaia Violo. The episode was directed by Trek veteran Olatunde Osunsanmi. Here’s a look at the episode's synopsis:

When an old enemy resurfaces as an existential threat to the Federation, Nahla must outwit a vengeful foe with a personal vendetta against her — as our cadets and instructors undertake a dangerous, seemingly impossible, mission to save everyone and everything they hold dear.
