Will Nurse Christine Chapel connect with Spock on a much deeper level in Strange New Worlds season three?

As a long-time Trekkie with a heart full of nostalgia and a mind brimming with excitement, I must say that the upcoming season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of Christine Chapel’s transformation into a Vulcan is not just intriguing but also promises to offer an unparalleled insight into her relationship with Spock.


In the series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, character Nurse Christine Chapel (played by Jess Bush) stepped into uncharted waters when she developed a romantic connection with Spock (portrayed by Ethan Peck). This relationship encountered hurdles and ultimately didn’t sustain its course, as Chapel opted to prioritize her career over remaining on the Starship Enterprise. However, a near-death experience allowed us to witness the deep affection Chapel still held for Spock. Although character Roger Kirby (played by Cillian O’Sullivan) has been introduced as Chapel’s future fiance in the storyline, it doesn’t necessarily mean that any lingering feelings between Chapel and Spock will be easily resolved. A sneak peek at season three hints at how these emotions may play out.

Despite Chapel having deep affection for Spock, she’ll never truly grasp what it means to be a Vulcan, trained to suppress emotions. However, this changes in season three when Chapel becomes part of the crew given a serum that transforms them all into Vulcans temporarily for a mission. The teaser trailer hints that the antidote fails, trapping the away team as Vulcans for now. Experiencing life from another’s perspective is the best way to comprehend their true nature.

It seems that the bond between Spock and Chapel may not continue in a romantic sense, especially once she and Dr. Kirby part ways. However, her experiences as a Vulcan will likely offer her unique insights into Spock’s character and his struggles with being both Vulcan and human. This mission might forge an unusual connection between them that they wouldn’t find otherwise. Here’s hoping that Strange New Worlds explores how this transformation influences Chapel, potentially rekindling their friendship, even if it remains platonic.
