Actor Laments Missing Jonathan Frakes' Final Episode for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 actor Elias Toufexis has notable FOMO about missing the last episode helmed by Jonathan Frakes. Playing Lak, the rebellious Breen in love with Moll (Eve Harlow), Toufexis L'ak unfortunately died in episode 7 of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, "Erigah - just two episodes before Jonathan Frakes seized the helm to direct "Lagrange Point". The Breen and the USS Discovery were searching for the riches of the ancient Progenitors.

Moll stored L'ak's remains in a position of honor onboard the Breen dreadnought and placed L'ak's body in a portable pattern buffer to keep it safe, hoping that the Progenitors' power of creation may bring L'ak back. L'ak had died. This meant that Elias Toufexis was not wearing the Breen's prosthetic makeup when L'ak was still featured in Star Trek: Discovery; this fact Elias came to regret when Jonathan Frakes helmed episode 9 of season 5. His X post below reveals his FOMO:

Directed the Star Trek: Discovery penultimate episode, Jonathan Frakes

Eight Star Trek: Discovery episodes, including the penultimate episode of season 5 (and the series') "Lagrange Point," have Jonathan Frakes directed. Jonathan has always considered Star Trek: Discovery as his "home" Star Trek program on Paramount+, although he didn't expected Discovery season 5 to draw its premise from one of his TNG episodes since he started directing season 2.

Jonathan Frakes revealed in a special interview with Screen Rant why he was "very surprised" when Star Trek: Discovery season 5 follows-up on "The Chase," his Star Trek: The Next Generation episode from season 6. Frakes also covered how guiding the current Star Trek series varies from guiding Star Trek in the 1990s era.

The season finale of Star Trek: Discovery will decide L'ak's fate and also signal the end of the show on Paramount+. Moll only wants to locate the Progenitors' technology and apply it to revive L'ak. Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) is in hot pursuit of Moll since she worries Moll will equip the Breen with the ability of creation once she uses it to resurrect L'ak. Both Moll and Burnham disappeared via a vortex leading to the Progenitors' treasure at the end of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 9, "Lagrange Point."

Captain Burnham oversaw a secret operation to pilfers the portal to the Progenitors' treasure from the Breen in episode nine of Star Trek: Discovery season five. This critical episode revealed something quite unexpected.
