As Star Trek: Lower Decks nears the end of its fourth season and its big climactic showdown, there is room for one more standalone adventure. The season’s eighth episode, simply and aptly titled “Caves,” finally puts all four leads together in a routine mission gone horribly wrong. A cheeky Star Trek riff on sitcom clip shows, the episode leans into what Lower Decks does best, mixing laughs with self-aware humor about the franchise’s well-worn tropes and quietly furthering its individual character arcs.In the months after their promotions to Lieutenant Junior Grade, the junior officers have largely been tasked with different assignments instead of working closely together. This changes when the quartet is told to scan rare fungus growing deep within a cave on a remote planet. Trapped after a cave-in and with their communications to the starship USS Cerritos scrambled, the group reminisces about separate experiences they’ve had previously in caves as they search for a way back to safety.As fun as the unusual team-ups and spotlights on individual characters have been throughout Lower Decks Season 4, “Caves” highlights that one of the big reasons the Paramount+ animated series is so effective is the entertaining interplay between its four protagonists. This reunion is a long time coming, and it feels good to see Beckett Mariner, Brad Boimler, D’Vana Tendi and Sam Rutherford back together again and on the job as a close-knit unit. This group has formed an engaging rapport that has only deepened over time, and they haven’t lost a step in how well they play off each other.RELATED: Lower Decks’ Robot Revolt Is Here – But Not the Way Anyone Thinks
