This weeks episode was great until the last two minutes. Absolutely great.

Maybe they’ll come up with some contrivance to explain it away :/ like he wasn’t completely healed.

While this episode was very entertaining, they really went off the rails with the Canon. Let's get those out of the way:

If you remember "Amok Time" in TOS, Spock only saw T'Pring when she was a child before seeing her as an adult while serving under Kirk. In SNW, he's interacting with an adult T'pring 10 years or so before Kirk takes command.

Second is Spock's relationship with Chapel has no previous history aside from Chapel being a lovesick puppy chasing a man that doesn't have the same feelings.

The only way to clean that up someday is to have an event that retcon's Spock and Chapel..

With that said, the episode was fun and entertaining

Thank you for better expressing my poorly worded point.

I can understand the slight retcon regarding T’Pring which was mainly a single episode in TOS, but the Chapel story and more importantly the character of Spock were pretty well set throughout.

From Amok Time:

KIRK: Marriage party? You said T'Pring was your wife.
SPOCK: By our parents' arrangement. A ceremony while we were but seven years of age. Less than a marriage but more than a betrothal. One touches the other in order to feel each other's thoughts. In this way our minds were locked together, so that at the proper time, we would both be drawn to Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

• He says they were betrothed at seven. Did they ever say that hadn't seen each other since then?

As long as Spock and Chapel break up and decide to have an ongoing, strictly professional relationship, Chapel's pining for a Spock that was once human enough to care about her would make sense.

• Edited to add: The biggest "mistake" is the Enterprise crew not knowing who T'Pring is in Amok Time, after a few of them had her on board in SNW.
