She got hit in the implant.
I think it's more likely it was just damaged and she's too prideful to get it looked at.

Booker: Help! It's an x-B!!! Burnham you didn't tell me you had x-B on your ship!!! My ancestors died at Wolf 359!!
Detmer: I'm an x-B? What's that? What happened at Wolf 359?
Two full seasons in, do we know much about the personaliity of biography of the crew beyond Saru, Tilly, Georgiou, Reno and Stametz?
I sped through the first two seasons, but I don't remember it explicitly being said, for example, that Detmer's device functions to assist her eyesight versus has religious significance vs is a fashion choice.
I don't remember much about the doctor other than he's Stametz's boyfriend, likes opera, and is a mushroom-created clone.
Bryce, Owo, and everyone else could use some more fleshing out.

Owo was said to have come from an anti-tech family.

Yeah, her family are Luddites. She may be the first in her family to travel in space and use advanced tech.

DSC Season 3, Act I: The Setup
Episode 1) Burnham arrives in The Future, meets Book, meets Sahil, and hears about The Burn.
Episode 2) Discovery arrives in The Future, makes friends & enemies, and hears about the V'Draysh.
Episode 3) Burnham rejoins Discovery and they have to decide what they're going to do in The Future.
Episode 4) Now that they know what to do, they find out how do it, and where to get some answers... which leads to more questions and takes us into the middle episodes of the season.
At least that's my guess of how it's going to go. These episodes are meant to serve as a transition to get us acclimated to the new setting, since it's such a drastic change from before.

Nothing---it was all a fake.
I'm really liking Saru as the captain.
I think that I would have rated this episode quite highly, but this episode has perhaps the most tone deaf moment I have ever seen in the franchise. This episode completed filming sometime last year. Many months have past as it has gone through post-production. During that time, we've had to trust people to keep the spaces we occupy and the things we touch clean. There are some people who have been asked to go back to work in unsafe conditions in order to keep the food supply active and, in some unfortunate circumstances, teach children packed into tight spaces. Jett Reno telling the man cleaning up the remains of Leland that effectively, his name does not matter, is perhaps the most dehumanizing things I've heard in Star Trek from one of our heroes. Moreover, it comes at a time when we can't take such jobs for granted. How someone did not catch this and expunge the line is surprising.
Agreed. And I don't like the whole character of Reno at all. She and Mirror Georgiou are just jerks for the sake of being jerks. I don't know why they just couldn't have kept Prime Georgiou alive honestly.
Georgiou's a one-woman army. Saru should've brought some muscle with him in the first place in case things between him/Tilly and the natives went south. But Saru really showed he has what it takes to be Captain when he managed to talk Georgiou down from delivering the killer blow.
I liked when that guy name-dropped the V'Draysh. It reminded me of when those aliens in "Rules of Acquisition" (DS9) told Quark, "Everybody does business with the Dominion!" They're going to be bad news. I can feel it.
My favorite line in the episode is when Culber teasingly says he wants Stamets to get better so he can kill him.

Yeah, it's not like Star Trek would ever feature a doctor who routinely racially-denigrates the first officer, or the entire senior staff calling someone "Broccoli" behind their back, or Starfleet officers who express disgust at the physical appearance of the Ferengi, or or or
Interesting....I gave last week's episode a 4 and this week a 9! Thought it was really good...maybe because there was less Burnham? I think the shows are better when more of the crew gets screentime and the focus isn't on just Burnham. I hope they keep this up!
You don't find those sorts of things egregious? McCoy poked at Spock (and vice versa), but it did not produce disrespect, and indeed, McCoy could express admiration of Spock. "Broccoli" was a deliberate insult, and it was called out.
"Egregious" is too strong for my thinking. Rude and undesirable, sure. But the point is it's all too human behavior. Even against the backdrop of the real pandemic, there are lots of people whose reactions would parallel Reno's at relative indifference to the people tasked to keep us safe.
I would have probably never made a possible connection between that scene and the pandemic on my own, and I don't fault the Trek people for apparently not doing it either, or for just going, "That's how Reno rolls."

I think it was an extension of showing how fit for command Saru is, by showing him on an away mission, his selection of Tilly and why he chose her. I'm actually really excited at the prospect of Saru becoming a fully commissioned captain. He's come such a long way.
this is concern trolling right?
Is that what I do? No. I indeed find this to be reprehensible.
Reno's just an abrasive asshole. Stamets called her a "grease monkey" last season and it fits. I've known some people who are kind of like that. Great engineer probably, but terrible at people skills. In a garage, you'd never want her standing at the desk. But I'd trust her to give it to me straight. Like I said upthread, all the characters acted like I expected them to.
