Anson Mount’s Capt. Pike tasks Christina Chong’s La’an to run the nascent program through the wringer to see how it holds up. La’an, who loves a 1960s murder mystery series featuring an investigator named Amelia Moon, has Martin Quinn’s Scotty upload those stories into the holodeck’s programming, which then creates a new mystery for her to solve.

With San Diego Comic-Con came news from the Trek sphere that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be turning their main cast into puppets for a season 4 episode. Fans also got a first look at Puppet Pike, a.k.a. Anson Mount 's Captain Pike in puppet form.

When La'an tests the prototype of the holodeck, everyone plays different characters in a simulation based on a detective series — and in a 'Star Trek' knockoff.
