This week brings us to the seventh episode of Star Trek: Picard — “Nepenthe” — and we’ve got your next round of new photos, as the former Enterprise captain reunites with long-awaited friends from his past.
Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) make their first post-Star Trek: Nemesis appearance in this chapter of the Picard story, as Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Soji Asha (Isa Briones) arrive at the planet where the married pair currently live… with their daughter, Kestra (LuLu Wilson), named for Deanna’s older sister (seen in TNG’s “Dark Page”).
Meanwhile, as seen in the episodic trailer below: separated from La Sirena, Elnor (Evan Evagora) teams up with Hugh (Jonathan Del Arco) who faces off against Narissa (Peyton List) on board the abandoned Borg cube, while Cris Rios (Santiago Cabrera), Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) and Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) have to find a way get away from the Cube and rendezvous with Picard.
Here are nineteen new photos from this week’s episode, along with one previously-released image from “Nepenthe.”
While the characters made an appearance in the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, that story was set during the seventh season of The Next Generation; the last chronological moments with Riker and Troi took place as the pair left the Enterprise-E for life aboard the USS Titan.
Finally, if you didn’t catch it at the end of “The Impossible Box,” here’s the preview for this coming week’s episode.
NEPENTHE —Picard and Soji transport to the planet Nepenthe, home to some old and trusted friends. As the rest of the La Sirena crew attempt to join them, Picard helps Soji make sense of her recently unlocked memories. Meanwhile, Hugh and Elnor are left on the Borg cube and must face an angered Narissa.
