She might even be given the night shift (like Harry Kim) at one point after she gets the experience needed. She might reach that level by the end of the season.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 Speculation Thread

They're fine every once and a while but in every episode it's overkill and they lose their effectiveness. Picard used them sparingly and each one is memorable because of it. Plus Patrick the best.
I'd very much love hearing a personal log entry from Saru at one point. Or perhaps the new captain's first thoughts about his new assignment. Come to think of it, I'd even like to see a captain's log entry actually being recorded in real time.
Georgiou and Mudd team up to rescue Lorca from spore space. Together they take over the Discovery, restoring Lorca to his rightful command. Now an unstoppable force of conquest and evil, Lorca takes to wearing the sparkly TOS MU captain's uniform and fills all that empty space on the bridge with Orions. Show gets way more awesome.
The new Vulcan Captain turns out to be a Romulan spy. It also turns out the Logic Extremists are all Romulans trying to disrupt Vulcan society.
They'll classify all this to keep the "integrity of Vulcan" or some nonsense.
Evidently, he didn't want Amanda to learn his dirty little secret...
*If* they don't want to recast Pike, they can probably CGI Jeff Hunter pretty cheaply over one of their flickering holograms for a brief scene. Then have the Discovery deal with the Third Officer, Chief Engineer Whatever, because of some engine issue the Enterprise is having. Then they can transfer Whomever as their new Chief of Security, and he can make constant annoying references to the Enterprise throughout the season.
Spock won't show up until the cliffhanger for Season 3, when he will hail Michael for some mysterious reason, and we only see the back of his hologram head. Or maybe cries out telepathically or something.

I'm actually looking more forward to the possibility of seeing Number One than I am Pike or Spock. Pike is just The Stoic Captain and Spock is Family Baggage & Drama.
Whereas Number One is a character who could've been fleshed out a lot more. Being as mathematically inclined and detached as she was supposed to be, she'd make for an interesting contrast to Burnham, either comparing notes or Burnham being more impulsive than Number One.
Plus DSC's original Number One meeting TOS's original Number One.

Lt. Commander Rainsford?
At the end the of Season 2 the cliffhanger would be that they overshoot 100 years with the spore drive and the show ends with the Discovery running into the Enterprise D. And then there’d be TNG credits to close.
Agreed, but if it is, that would fit in with the faith vs science they say they want to explore.
Given the way DSC likes to bonk-bonk their symbolism with such clever devices as knots and tethers, I fully expect that the faith vs. science issue will deliver us a character whose actual, literal name is Faith, and will be very much questioning all the science.
