In the two-part episode "Terra Firma", Hugh Culber learns from Kovich that because Georgiou is very far from her original time and universe, her molecules have begun to decay. Burnham and Georgiou travel to the surface of a nearby planet Dannus V to find a possible form of survival for the latter. On the planet, they meet an old man who claims to be named Carl. He shows Georgiou a newspaper from the future saying that she has died and sends her through a portal, where she finds herself in the Mirror Universe. She begins to resume her life in the Mirror Universe, once again taking up the mantle of emperor of the Terran Empire. She finds that he time in the Prime Universe has changed her, and begins to make different choices that she did the first time around, including befriending the Saru of that universe, who is a slave.
In the second part, Georgiou realizes her Burnham, who she has treated like a daughter, has been plotting against her. She traps her, then tortures her until she pledges her allegiance to the Empire. Burnham eventually resolves to rejoin Georgiou at her side, revealing all the other crewmembers on the ship who are traitors. They begins to search for Gabriel Lorca, but when they beam down to a planet below, Burnham reveals her true colors and fatally wounds Burnham, though she is rescued by Saru and the other Kelpiens, who she helped through Vahar'ai, and dies by their side. She reappears with Burnham Prime, and Carl reveals himself as the mystical Guardian of Forever. He sends Georgiou, after saying goodbye to Burnham, through another portal, which leads to a time and space in which she can survive, and she begins her next adventure.
