Strange New Worlds gives us an unexpected holodeck origin story in an hour that sees La'an solving a 1960s-set locked room mystery.

In both "A Space Adventure Hour" and "The Big Goodbye," a tech error causes the characters to become trapped on the holodeck, forcing them to play out the fictional drama in order to escape. On the inside, a murder is afoot. Back on the Enterprise, there is a massive engine failure (or some other technical problem).

Mix a holodeck mystery with a homage to Knives Out and Galaxy Quest, and you get a fantastic romp for this week's Strange New Worlds episode!
