Star Trek: Strange New Worlds EPs Tease Spock and Chapel's Future — Does He Have a New Love Interest?

Warning: This post contains spoilers from Season 3, Episode 2 of . Spock's heart was shattered — if Vulcan hearts can even shatter, that is — this week on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. But a fellow Enterprise crew member may be about to mend that heart. More from TVLine Star Trek: Strange New Worlds EP Breaks Down Pike's Emotional Struggle in Premiere: 'It's an Opportunity for Him to Dig Deeper' It's Official: Samuel L. Jackson to Star in Tulsa King Spinoff NOLA King at Paramount+ - See First Photo Evil Cast, Creators Still 'Sit Around and Talk About It Endlessly,' Aasif Mandvi Says - See Reunion Photo In Season 3's second episode (which hit Paramount+ on Thursday), Spock was excited to welcome Chapel back after her fellowship, but she didn't return alone: She was accompanied by her dashing new boyfriend, Dr. Roger Korby, played by Cillian O'Sullivan. Spock had trouble processing her new romance — it's not logical! — but after a mischievous alien created an alternate reality where Spock and Chapel were about to be married, Spock realized it wasn't right and did the noble thing, reuniting her with Korby. So now that they're no longer a romantic item, what's next for Spock and Chapel as shipmates? 'They will have to interact,' executive producer Henry Alonso Myers tells TVLine, and 'that interaction will be dramatic, no matter what… We promise you that those great dramatic and comic scenes between them will continue on. Just because we end that particular romantic part of their relationship doesn't mean that there aren't future interesting parts of the relationship that you're gonna run right into the face of.' Spock and Chapel have 'a very complex relationship that they don't always spend enough time talking about,' Myers points out, 'and that's part of the challenge that they run into.' Fellow EP Akiva Goldsman adds that 'we love the characters [of Spock and Chapel], and so they're going through a thing, you know. It's hard.' What might make it easier, though, is a new romantic prospect for Spock, and we saw some hints of that in his interactions with security officer La'an in Episode 2. (We're not the only ones who felt a vibe from those dance lessons, right?) Spock and La'an's connection is 'more casual, and more grown-up,' Myers notes. 'They come into it very much like adults who appreciate what they have to offer each other. They're friends first, I would say.' But maybe not just friends in the end, we're thinking. Are you liking the idea of Spock and La'an together? Or are you still holding out hope for a rekindling with Chapel? Beam down to the comments to give us your thoughts.
