Meanwhile, Brent Spiner and Isa Briones returned to the series—both as different characters than they played earlier in Picard. This time Spiner portrays Dr. Adam Soong, a geneticist in the altered timeline who creates a daughter, Kore (Briones) but with several fatal flaws. When an anonymous source claims to have the cure for whatever ails Kore, Adam meets up with the source—Q (John de Lancie). In “Two of One,” this week’s episode of Picard, Tallinn helps Jean-Luc and the crew infiltrate a gala on the eve of a joint space mission to protect one of the astronauts they believe to be integral to the restoration of the timeline— Renee Picard. Kore makes a startling discovery about her father’s work and Jurati (Alison Pill) deals with an internal struggle while on mission. When Parade.com asked Santiago Cabrera which holo of Rios he enjoyed playing the most, he said, “Probably Emmet. I knew he was coming. The others were very quickly thrust upon me though I love them all in their own way.” Paramount+ announced on First Contact Day (April 5) that many of the original cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation would be joining the third and final season of Picard for one last mission. LeVar Burton, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis and Brent Spiner reunite with Patrick Stewart for the next season of Picard. “Two of One” was written by Cindy Appel and Jane Magga. The episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes. New episodes of Star Trek: Picard premiere on Thursdays on Paramount+. Next, Everything You Need to Know About Picard Season 2
