Strange New Worlds brought us to the prototype of the Holodeck, responsible for some fan-favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Prototypes are not without their issues and kinks, hence the reason we don't see a "working" version until the days of TNG.

Anson Mount’s Capt. Pike tasks Christina Chong’s La’an to run the nascent program through the wringer to see how it holds up. La’an, who loves a 1960s murder mystery series featuring an investigator named Amelia Moon, has Martin Quinn’s Scotty upload those stories into the holodeck’s programming, which then creates a new mystery for her to solve.

Rebecca Romijn's Number One (aka Una Chin-Riley) and Christina Chong's La’an Noonien-Singh have gone through some transformational character changes over the past two seasons of “ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ” and this fresh batch of episodes for Season 3 sees that trend continue.
