In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) attempts a USS Enterprise maneuver that usually means suicide. Strange New Worlds season 2 ended with a cliffhanger as the Enterprise faced off against multiple Gorn ships, including a destroyer. As Captain Pike contemplates his next move, Admiral Robert April (Adrian Holmes) orders the Enterprise to withdraw, even if that means leaving several crew members trapped on the Gorn ship. Pike stops, unwilling to leave his people behind, but unsure how to proceed, just before the words “to be continued” appear on the screen.
