In the sixth episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the Enterprise rescues an alien boy appointed the “First Servant,” his father Gamal, and Alora, a diplomat. Alora is also Captain Pike’s former girlfriend. Pike agrees to return the alien trio to Majalis, a highly advanced alien planet. Gamal fakes his son’s death to keep him from returning to the planet, but he’s thwarted. The boy returns to Majalis with Pike and Alora for an “ascension ceremony.” Pike is allowed to witness the ceremony, which turns out to be human sacrifice to a mechanical device.
