Plot...
Spock and his fiance T'Spring get stuck in each others bodies after a botched Vulcan Soul Sharing ceremony designed to allow each partner to see through the other's eyes. Of course Spock is needed immediately in a diplomatic manner. Most of the crew take shore leave but first officer Una and La'an (Security Chief) play Enterprise Bingo. Admiral Robert April stops by to say hello.

Wikipedia Plot...
As the Enterprise undergoes repairs at Starbase 1, the crew go on shore leave. Number One and Noonien-Singh apprehend two ensigns conducting an unauthorized spacewalk, as part of a game popular among lower-ranked crew called "Enterprise Bingo", and discover their own reputations as fun-killers. They try the game out themselves and succeed. Spock finds himself frustrated in furthering his relationship with T'Pring. They undertake a special mind meld ceremony, but accidentally swap each other's katras. Spock attempts to carry out T'Pring's job convincing lapsed Vulcans to return to logic, only to resort to subduing one of them. Admiral April calls Pike and T'Pring (in Spock's body) to negotiate a treaty with the R'ongovians, a race of aliens known for their radical empathy, who are considering allying with the Federation, but also with either the Klingons or Romulans. Pike figures out the R'ongovians' motives and bluntly explains them, convincing the R'ongovians to sign the treaty. M'Benga and Chapel use medical technology to help Spock and T'Pring return each other's katras to their proper bodies. The two Vulcans consummate their relationship.

Wiki Cast
Anson Mount as Christopher Pike: captain of the USS Enterprise. The writers took Mount's own leadership style as inspiration for the character. Co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman explained that Mount liked to find consensus within a group, and so a table was added to Pike's quarters where he could convene the crew and cook for them.
Ethan Peck as Spock: science officer aboard the Enterprise
Jess Bush as Christine Chapel: a civilian nurse on the Enterprise. Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers felt the character's portrayal in The Original Series came from a "very different conception of women and of marriage and what people would do in their jobs" that present-day audiences would not expect, and sought to tell new stories with a character inspired by Bush's strengths.
Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh: the Enterprise's newly assigned chief of security and a relative of Ricardo Montalbán's Star Trek villain Khan Noonien Singh
Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura: a cadet on the Enterprise specializing in linguistics. Despite the character's important role throughout the Star Trek franchise, the writers felt that there was a lot still unknown about her that could be explored.
Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas: the Enterprise's helmsman. Her surname is a reference to the original Star Trek pitch which included a navigator named Jose Ortegas.
Babs Olusanmokun as M'Benga: the Enterprise's chief medical officer
Bruce Horak as Hemmer: the Enterprise's chief engineer. Hemmer is an Aenar, which are an albino subspecies of Andorians that are generally depicted as blind; Horak is blind in one eye with limited sight in the other.
Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley / Number One: first officer of the Enterprise and second-in-command to Pike
