The cadets head home for their first break on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Episode 7, “Ko’Zeine.”

After completing their first semester at the Academy, the cadets have earned some R&R before the new term begins. However, as is often the case in real life, family expectations can be just as demanding as passing classes.

After revealing her dark back story on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Episode 6, “Come, Let’s Away, “Ko’Zeine” will see Captain Ake ruminating on her regrets and the things she wants and wishes for.
