I’ve never really thought about this scene until now. Spock, who is the number one person in Starfleet when it comes to following the rules, who just before this scene did the proper thing and told their superiors the truth about Kirk violating the Prime Directive, thus technically betraying Kirk’s confidence, just can’t get Kirk’s new rank right. That doesn’t seem in character, until you realize that Kirk will always be Spock’s captain, no matter what Starfleet says.

It’s like Spock didn’t think Starfleet would go so far as to demote Kirk and is shocked that they won’t be serving on the same ship anymore. Remember how off-kilter Spock is when he meets his new captain and how self-searching he looks as Kirk walks away? He doesn’t even call Kirk a friend, yet he is already used to Kirk by his side and can’t imagine Kirk not being by his side.

An added layer to it:

He didn’t know he was betraying Kirk. Spock’s compulsion to follow the rules is such that it didn’t even occur to him that Jim would conceal the truth in the report at all.
Spock fully believed Jim’s report would mention the breaking of the Prime Directive, and made his own report to counter it, and thus to take the blame away from Kirk and onto himself. Taking responsibility for the ultimate result of him being saved from the volcano, even though it was Kirk’s choice to do it.

The moment he realizes it backfired and that his report has betrayed the truth of things and put Jim in jeopardy, Spock immediately starts antagonizing Pike and attempting to shift the situation onto himself/get himself punished instead, in a display of attitude so outside of his usual behavior that Pike kicks him out of the room. That too was a desperate last minute attempt to protect Jim.

It got better.

Spock knows that it is illogical to engage her in a subject that he will not be able to further elaborate on, but part of him is desperate to share something of his own universe. He never showed this Jim or Spock the hologram message, mainly because they had both been a little uncomfortable discussing the details of their alternate universe counterparts, and partly because he did not want to influence them any more than was absolutely necessary. He had probably already interfered more than he ought have.
T'Androma, though, would see it all with childish innocence and delight. She would see the loved one of someone she loved, and she would love Jim too. He pulls the small medallion out from his robes and activates it, the light from the hologram spilling out into the dusky air.
Jim’s image forms in the air and as he begins his message Spock feels his heart clench in his side, as always. He knows it off by heart and recites it in his head along with his bondmate. T'Androma watches, eyes wide in wonder. She reaches out a hand to ghost along the edge of the image, as if she were trying to stroke his face. To make contact with him. When the message ends and Jim’s face freezes in a wide smile, T'Androma looks up at Spock with her lightning-storm-blue eyes, inherited from this universe’s Jim, and declares “He is lovely.”
“Lovely?”
She nods in absolute certainty, “Yeah. I like him.”
Her name echoes through the air; her father’s voice from inside the house. She jumps to her feet, touches her fingers briefly to Spock’s in a goodnight kiss, then trots back through the garden. 
Spock watches her until she disappears through the door, then turns his gaze up to the stars. 
Did you hear that, Jim? She thinks you are lovely…I am inclined to agree with her.

#i know this scene is meant to be funny (and it is) but fuck  #jim looks so painfully young and scared here  #he’s hurting and he doesn’t know what the hell is going on and he’s fucking miserable  #but he’s trusting bones to take care of him  #he sits up and leans towards bones even though it costs him effort  #because consciously or not he knows bones is gonna fix it bones is gonna fix everything
