Season 2 of the blockbuster hit series ‘Star Trek: Picard’ is undoubtedly one of the best shows out there and now that Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has finally located the mysterious Watcher, things have started to get more intense for the entire team. The previous two episodes have also given us the opportunity to understand how every character is now busy with his or her mission and that’s what makes the show even more interesting.
But things are about to go from bad to worse because the Watcher might give Picard some key information about who she has been protecting for so many years. The name of the individual might shock everyone, including Jean-Luc and change the mission altogether. For the uninitiated, the show has re-introduced Laris as the Watcher and as soon as she appeared in front of Picard, he took a sigh of relief that the Watcher is protecting someone he knows.

Now, there are multiple stories going on in the show and each one of them is intriguing. However, Picard’s storyline seems to be the most important because they need to change the future and bring normalcy to the timeline. So, Laris and Picard sat down for a conversation, sharing things about their past. However, Laris revealed that she has spent almost her entire life protecting one individual and that person is actually Jean-Luc’s ancestor.
Picard is shocked to hear that and we get to know that the person Laris is talking about is none other than Renee Picard. Remember the girl reading the book at the end of Episode 4? Yes, she is Renee. Q tried to check if everything was okay in his timeline but was shocked to learn that things are not heading in the direction that they were supposed to.
On the other hand, Raffi (Michelle Hurd) and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) are still trying to figure out how to bring Rios back safely from the ICE’s custody. The duo has made it clear that they will do anything to take him out of there and won’t hurt other people on the bus. Elsewhere, Jurati (Alison Pill) and Borg Queen seem to have started a weird relationship with one another as they keep on sharing what they feel about the entire mission. It will be interesting to see if Jurati will connect with the Borg Queen once again because it made her feel strong and invincible.
The team needs to get back together so that they can bring back normalcy and challenge Q in a world that he created.
‘Star Trek: Picard’ Season 2 returns to Paramount+ with a new episode every Thursday.
