4) “I’m Ready”

I would say most of the songs in “Subspace Rhapsody” are great, but Nurse Chapel’s lounge number about realizing she’s willing to put aside her feelings for Spock to pursue her career dreams is where the episode really clicked into place for me. Some great choreography, a great performance by Jess Bush—the moment she sings “If I need to leave you/I won’t fight it” and realizes what she’s just said to Spock is a great little character beat. This one’s got the drama in ways few of the other tracks do.
