In which episode do they meet the Andromeda 
Spoilers Season 3 episode names!

I have a feeling these events occur in the first episode or more to the point during the year that Burnham spends by herself. By the time Burnham reunites with Discovery she has the long hair going on. Also I think the group attacking Burnham and Book aren't scavengers but one of the factions that the Federation has split itself into and potentially the main villains of the season
On the starship Discovery, hope lives again
That’s emphasizing my point. It didn’t make sense the first time DSC & Picard did it, and it still doesn’t now.
All the episodes are connected. But those episodes are more connected than usual. The difference is in the degree.
Aka, they were planning on an episode, then found they had the budget to put in some filler and do two, but no funds were allocated to inventing a new title...
S3 is likely to be more preplanned than either of the two so far. But may end up being as impromptu and disjointed as those, for potential viral reasons. The ones we got the episode names for aren't part of any known backpedaling or track-switching process yet, though, probably.

Season 3 is moving the Trek universe into a whole new era with a very different status quo. There's no doubt that section of the fanbase who hate and fear change are going to fucking hate it.
With "Picard", the episodes were, at first, preplanned as two-parters for each director, but the first three eps ended up being closely connected so went to Hanelle M. Culpepper, and then there was some reshuffling of the other directors.
But even when DS9 episodes have different titles, they can be closely interconnected. eg. DS9's "The Homecoming"/"The Circle"/"The Siege", "Improbable Cause"/"The Die is Cast", etc.

From a naming standpoint, it’s still somewhat nonsensical. It’s like saying here’s chapter 2, part 1 and chapter 2, part 2, or saying chapter 2 has two chapters itself. Having part 1 & 2 story makes more sense in an episodic context where not every episode continues the specific narrative of the preceding installment.
I think he's trying to hint/troll that he has inside information about the production, and is spoiling in an unspoiler fashion that Vulcan has also been destroyed in the Prime timeline sometime post 24th century.
I know exactly what he's doing.
If you view it as a book, then, yeah maybe. However, as a comic fan, the overarching story-line will have a title and each issue in that story-line will have it's own title.
Hell, even Babylon 5, which JMS referred to as a "Novel for Television," a forefather of our serialized shows today, had two-part episodes. Episodes were self-contained in that while they drove the arcs forward, each individual episode would have a clear beginning, middle, and end. For the two-parters, the middle would be the end of the first episode. Really any serialized show does this.
By that logic, why bother giving the episodes separate titles anyway? Why not just designate them all Episode 1, Episode 2 and so on in that order?
Or you could compare it to the Bible, which has its chapters divided into verses. Modern Star Trek: it's almost Biblical.
"Star Trek should always be moving forward. No, wait, not like that!"
Here's hoping they planned beyond the season midpoint this year. I'd dearly love a story that didn't veer sharply into crazy at about the two thirds mark.
Just a thought, but that may have occurred to them.
Absolutely not! Hate it when shows can’t be bothered to name their episodes. I know a show is bad when it’s pilot episode is called “Pilot”.
Novels and other books can have a chapter titles.
Parts of a serialised story in any medium can have their own titles.

Has it occurred to you that it might be a continuation of the Vulcan/Romulan unification storyline from TNG?
