Star Trek Picard Season 2 Episode 8 Podcast Synopsis Executive Producers: Michael Chabon & Kirsten Beyer & Akiva Goldsman & Alex Kurtzman Episode Written by: Cindy Appel and Kirsten Beyer Episode Directed By: Joe Menendez Under arrest Detective Wells tries to make Picard and Guinan confess to being aliens. But with time running out before the launch of the Europa Mission, Picard and Guinan must try to escape from the FBI, but are separated from each other by Wells. As Picard continues to be interviewed by the detective, in another room Guinan’s Q call finally takes effect as she is visited by Q who explains that he is dying and that this "trial" is a final attempt to give his own life meaning. Something Q says resonates with Guinan about Detective Wells and she projects her corporeal form to share this message with Picard that “humans are all stuck in the past”. Using Guinan’s message Picard probes the reasons for their arrest by Wells who reveals that he encountered aliens when he was a child and thought they wanted to kill him. But Picard explains that these were Vulcans who only tried to erase his memories of their meeting and while he himself is human he is from another time in the distant future. After reporting his lack of success to the FBI, Wells is fired and releases Picard and Guinan back to the world. Meanwhile, Raffi and Seven of Nine come face-to-face with Juratti and the horror of what she’s become. After tracking the Borg Queen they discover she is collecting car and phone batteries to modify Jurati's body and make it capable of assimilating other humans. She attacks them, but a glimmer of Agnes is able to force her to stop and leave before she causes Raffi and Seven more harm. Elsewhere after learning about her true nature, Kore leaves her father with help from Q. As Dr Adam Soong wallows in his splintered family and disintegrated reputation he is given a fresh opportunity at “greatness” from the Borg Queen. She persuades Soong that he can save his legacy by helping her steal La Sirena, thereby enabling her to conquer the galaxy. Soong provides her with a squad of mercenaries, but is taken aback as the Borg Queen begins to convert them into Borg drones. How We Discuss Star Trek Picard.
