Conclusion

“Impulse” makes an effective Star Trek horror story because escaping the monsters isn't enough to put everything right.

The crew survives a ship full of violent Vulcans, but T’Pol still has to deal with what happened to her. The episode leaves viewers with a sobering reminder: getting out of a nightmare and recovering from one are two very different things
