'Star Trek Discovery' Death teased in episode 8 preview

Saru (Doug Jones) will be the main focus of “Star Trek Discovery” episode 8. A preview video of the episode teases a possible death of a major character, making it one of the darkest chapters yet in the journey of the new Federation ship. The Klingons will also be back, so there will be a lot of action.

Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) and Saru will be traveling to an alien planet in the next episode, a preview video on YouTube shows. There seems to be a strange phenomenon that the crew should study, but there will be a setback.

Fans will get more insight about Saru next episode. The character belongs to a species known as Kelpien. The preview video shows him explaining how his species survived as they are all born afraid. Saru, too, has lived his whole life in fear. He’s apparently afraid every moment of his life. However, there will be a moment where the character will no longer feel fear.

Is Saru going to die in episode 8? The strange phenomenon on the planet and the character sharing his thoughts in sickbay suggest that this will be the end of the road for him. The statement by the captain about grieving also confirms the possibility of a major death.

The starship Discovery will also face challenges next episode. The war rages on, and the Klingons will be back. The ship will be engaged in what appears to be multiple battles.

Admiral Cornwell (Jayne Brook) will return in episode 8. Readers will remember that she was previously captured by the Klingons. The character will now be seen getting tortured.
