Having La'an use the word "designed" about herself ("'cause' I'm designed / to color inside the lines") as an "augment" is the beginning of a subtle yet bold move - the overall message of "How Would That Feel" that La'an, an indirect product of genetic engineering, must now empower herself to be, for lack of a better phrase, self-modifying - to change, and to move beyond her legacy and past (both personal and genetic). To augment herself. It's a powerful and empowering message.

@tychotithonus and Spock's use of X and Y and he was the "X" literally in his song about Chapel
@tychotithonus Also Status Report just hits amazing
@tychotithonus it’s fascinating that not only is this musical a canon event, but several characters’ season arcs move forward in the episode. Spock, Chapel, and La’an all have important realizations in the episode.
