>As the year comes to an end, Caleb must choose between the life he thought he wanted and the life he’s built for himself at Starfleet Academy. Meanwhile, Nahla breaks protocol in one final gambit to keep a promise to Caleb. Written by: Kirsten Beyer Directed by: Jonathan Frakes — There is no spoiler protection in the episode discussion threads, and spoiler tags are not necessary!

Damn. That was an unexpected ending. Wonder what Frakes has in store for next week.

EDIT: It was heartwarming to see the R’uustai again.

EDIT 2: I thought I had heard Frakes directed two episodes.

Frakes says this was the last Star Trek episode he has directed. None of the filming since has fit his schedule.
Jonathan Frakes Directs Final Star Trek Episode: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 9

Exclusive: Jonathan Frakes directs Star Trek: Starfleet Academy episode 9, and it's the last of his epic run of Star Trek episodes that he has helmed.

Screen Rant
Bella Shepherd, who plays Genesis, said in an interview that Frakes was originally booked for direct her character’s feature episode in season two, but then he couldn’t be available because of conflicts but was expected to direct a later episode. It sounds as though they couldn’t make the schedules mesh.
