Star Trek: Lower Decks kicks off Season Five with a double-header. In "Dos Cerritos," a spatial anomaly forces the Cerritos crew to come face-to-face with their faces when Mariner, Boimler, and Rutherford enter an alternate universe where they encounter their doppelgangers. In "Shades of Green," Tendi races to end a conflict with blue-skinned Orions while Boimler and Mariner help a planet of capitalists to convert into a post-scarcity society.
