This is my favorite episode of Strange New Worlds to date, and it has one of the most powerful endings of any Trek episode ever.

Just saw your question about which timeline and if this was from the most recent Trek movies (the Kelvin timeline) and thought I'd stop the video and answer that. No, this is not the Kelvin timeline. That Kirk was born on the USS Kelvin (which Nero attacked when he came through the singularity from the late 24th century of the "prime" Star Trek timeline, which Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) also came from) and was raised in Iowa on earth. This Kirk has never been to earth and was born on a different ship, which was called the USS Iowa. So, this is a different alternate timeline altogether, one in which Starfleet never existed and Earth is uninhabitable from the attacks from the Romulans.

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Kirk tells Gillian that "I'm from Iowa, I only work in outer space." After that movie was released, the city of Riverside, Iowa declared that they were the "future" birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. They even have a monument there about it. Well, at the end of this episode Kirk tells La'an that he was born in Riverside, Iowa, thus making the city's proclamation decades ago Star Trek reality.

The undercover Romulan telling La'an about how time kept trying to correct itself and that this was originally supposed to happen in 1992 was a reference not only to the Temporal Wars we saw in the Enterprise series, but also to the original TOS episode "Space Seed" in which Khan and his people left Earth in the Botany Bay in 1996. But that Khan never existed but eventually he did, but at a later time in the 21st Century, because of time reasserting its correct flow. This was also foreshadowed in season 2 of "Picard". But it is a convenient retcon or reset if you will of the Khan story by Star Trek writers.
