In "Star Trek: Lower Decks"' latest mission, "A Farewell to Farms", Mariner and Boimler catch up with Mariner's old Klingon buddy Ma'ah on Qo'noS. Since being discharged from the military in disgrace he's been scraping by on the family blood winery — but that all changes when the two Lower Deckers push him to fight for his honor.
It's a good excuse to put a comedic spin on the Klingon lore that was a mainstay of Worf's arc in "The Next Generation," as a reluctant Ma'ah, brother Malor and a remarkably enthusiastic Boimler subject themselves to pain sticks and other Klingon rituals of humiliation. We also see how Boimler's facial hair is progressing, and learn that the space rifts the Cerritos has been encountering are probably artificial.
