Spoilers Star Trek Discovery 3x13, That Hope is You Part II - Promo trailer

No. Burnham wasn't on the bridge when Saru foiled Osyraa's plans earlier in the season.

But I think O knows who Burham is and what her role is on the Discovery. This fits with the speculation that there's a mole on the ship or at the HQ. Also fitting with this guess is that O knew who Tilly was -- even though it's also likely that Zareh told her about Tilly, Saru and Georgiou and his impressions of them.
Who could this traitor possibly be though? Before the last few episodes, I would have said Book but he's just passed over too many opportunities to sabotage Discovery and Burnham for him to realistically be the traitor.

Kovich? We hardly even know anything about him. Grudge? As a cat lover myself, I hope they don't make her the villain.

Burnham: Who could the spy possibly be? How did Osyraa know about our spore drive and how to take over Discovery so easily?
(900 years earlier)
Special Guest Star: Anson Mount

Orion Syndicate Minister: Thank you for all this classified Starfleet information Captain Pike. As agreed, our cloning and transporter duplication facilities will recreate a perfect double of you, with all memories except your vision on Boreth intact. This clone will continue in Starfleet in your place and fall victim to this Boreth prophecy you fear so much.

When Discovery returns in 900 years, the Orion syndicate of that time will make use of your information as needed. Now come along and retire to Orion here like you always wanted.

Until this episode, I thought it made sense that there was a traitor (that was a known character) feeding intelligence to them.

Now, I think that they could have gotten intelligence from a lot of sources:
- Zareh with information about Saru and Tilly
- Any of the captains from the briefing in "Scavengers", or hacked communications
- Someone from Ni'Var, which knew about an advanced propulsion system
- Scans of the ship from "The Sanctuary" that were later analyzed to learn about the spore drive.
- Hacking the ships computer when using the range extenders in "Terra Firma, Part 2". Vance expressed concern about using Emerald Chain technology. This could also explain how they tracked the location of the ship in "Su'Kal".

Good thing Osyraa didn't track Discovery to the Guardian of Forever's planet huh? She could have started some new Temporal Wars.
 
“Shut up, shut up, shut up Michael. No more monologues!”

"Personal log. Stardate... whenever. It's difficult to concentrate. These past few seconds have been exhausting. Being forcibly jammed into a dangerous special effects wall by an angry Orion will do that to you, I guess. Times like this, I'm reminded of something my father used to say when he tucked me in at night. 'Michael, the light within you shines brightest on dark and starry days.' Time was, I didn't know what he meant. But right now, right here? As I stare into Osyrra's vengeful eyes and the dark and starry day does come? I finally get it. That hope, all along, was me. And I will not let you down, not a single one of you. Even if the very air I breathe is pressed from me by this powerful grasp, I will never yield. For we are at our strongest and most sanctimonious when the walls are closing in and the dusk gives way to twilight, lit beneath the starry skies above us."

I actually love Michael but I totally get it

I'd listen to it.

But my brain is usually constructed in long meandering monologues so I like this style.

It's just like when Kirk was making Captain's logs after he was abducted to an unknown planet and forced to fight others to the death. Who are you talking to? How are you making these logs? Questions which will forever remain unanswered.

He recorded them after the fact and spoke in the present tense so that the documentary producers covering his 5 year mission would have more dramatic narration.

Brilliant! Reminds me of Picard's reaction when he started to read Hotel Royale ;)
