The Pakleds have a spy on board the Cerritos. Will he steal valuable Starfleet secrets? Probably not.

Captain Freeman is on Pakled Planet trying to negotiate a cease-fire while Ransom and Kayshon deal with the spy. Tendi has had enough of being Lower Decks, and Boimler joins a club of red shirts to improve his image and snag a promotion.

I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to.
