In the premiere of Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Montgomery Scott improvises a cloaking device to protect the USS Enterprise from a Gorn attack. His youthful ability to solve problems under pressure is showcased as he closely mirrors a similar feat he will achieve later in his life, in a classic episode of the Original Series. Scotty, advised by his mentor Pelia, learns to work quickly and efficiently, culminating in his transformation into a capable engineer and 'miracle worker' in dire situations.
This episode reboots and lays the foundation for a similar tech feat that Scotty will pull off about a decade later in 'The Enterprise Incident.'
Scotty is under pressure to replicate an ad-hoc cloaking device that he used on his shuttlecraft, after his previous ship, the Stardiver, was destroyed by the Gorn.
His mentor, Pelia, provides the solution by lying to Scotty, telling him the Gorn are already attacking, prompting Scotty to complete the cloaking device quickly.
The pressure and urgency feed into Scotty’s miraculous ingenuity, allowing him to become a 'miracle worker' under difficult circumstances.
