The reason I love the blueberry scene between Michael and Saru so much is at that point Michael had been pretty standoffish towards any attempted kindness from Lorca or Tilly, but when Saru offers her a blueberry she immediately accepts it. She also looks at him with both surprise and gratitude on her face. She was probably taken aback that he, after everything, would be kind to her at all.

Lorca and Tilly’s attempted kindness didn’t matter much to her at that point. She didn’t know them. But for Saru, someone she cared about and whose friendship she thought she had lost, to be kind, that clearly meant the world to her.
