Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When devastating truths behind the Mars attack are revealed, Picard realizes just how far many will go to preserve secrets stretching back generations, all while the La Sirena crew grapples with secrets and revelations of their own. Narissa directs her guards to capture Elnor, setting off an unexpected chain of events on the Borg cube.
Our Take
A talky hour that finally pays off the season’s mysteries, giving Alison Pill a real showcase as Jurati unravels under the weight of what she’s done. The exposition-heavy middle section drags, but the Romulan backstory lands with genuine weight. Not the most exciting episode, though it sets the table well for the endgame.
