Jurati is summoned away by Rios, also her ex BTW, and leaves the android behind before we can see what Deltans get up to after dinner.Īgnes beams to that Starfleet ship from the teaser, with a cigar-chomping Captain Cristóbal Rios confidently barking orders. Things are going pretty well: Soji impresses the crowd with deft diplomacy, and Agnes gets hammered but seems happy to be exonerated for murdering her ex last season. As for Soji and Jurati, they are way off in the Beta Quadrant wining and dining some Deltans on a Synths-actually-aren’t-all-soulless-killing-machines goodwill tour. The pair quickly dispatches some name-calling space pirates only to find a giant rift opening up in space. Seven has returned to her angry Fenris Rangers ways, in command of La Sirena with hologram Emmet as sole crew. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc’s other season one pals are off having their own little adventures. After greeting his old friend Guinan–you got that from the address, right?–Picard seeks love life advice, believing “that particular ship has sailed,” but Guinan has hope, telling her friend he has “one final frontier.” Best. With Raffi’s jabs about his commitment issues ringing in his ears, Picard takes a trip back in time–sort of–to the Los Angeles Historical District and a certain bar at 10 Forward Ave. Raffi is there as a teacher and Elnor as a cadet, and both are heading off on assignment after some fun banter. Winemaking is now Picard’s side hustle as he has returned to Admiraling and heads up Starfleet Academy, where he gives a speech, sharing his (almost) centenarian wisdom with the cadets that “the true final frontier is time.” He also foreshadows “second chances” and returns to the subject of mom, who inspired him to “look up” to the stars. Alas, she gets denied by Jean-Luc, distracted by mommy-and-daddy-issues flashbacks. Later, Laris drops some exposition on us that it’s been almost two years since season one, her husband Zhabon is dead, and she is ready for love. 48 hours earlier it’s all blue skies, ripe grapes, and big smiles at Chateau Picard, Jean-Luc leading the harvest with new pep in his synthetic step. What? Seven is there, as is Jurati and Picard too, all dealing with some Doc Ock masked lady taking over the ship, who addresses the Admiral directly before he orders self-destruct. We follow a security team struggling to the bridge to find a distressed Captain Rios. Season two teases in medias res and intruder alert chaos on a Starfleet ship suffering a cascading series of system failures. RECAP “The problem isn’t time, it’s you.” Tightly packed with action, character, humor, and lore, the second season premiere of Star Trek: Picard resets this series into a welcome new trajectory.
