In the premiere episode, Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) initially avoids returning to duty. He’s seen a vision of his future, and knows it involves severe radiation burns and a wheelchair. Likewise, Spock (Ethan Peck) is consumed with his upcoming engagement to T’Pring, a process we know will lead into the Original Series timeline. But when they’re colleague Number One (Rebecca Romijn) disappears during a First Contact mission, both will return to Enterprise to find and rescue her.
