The next episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is nearly upon us!
We’ve got some crazy theories for this week, going from The Borg Queen having a bit of a rampage to an interesting connection to Star Trek: The Original Series!
Honestly, if Strange New Worlds’s trailer wasn’t enough this week, we’ve got even more developments in the world of Picard!
Jonathan Frakes is back to direct Episode 6, with writers Cindy Appel and Jane Maggs, as Episode 6 which appears to be titled “Two of One”.
The title is all about the Borg Queen now being inside of Doctor Jurati’s head, which was the shock reveal of last week’s Star Trek: Picard episode!
Alright, it’s time to break down the latest teaser trailers, exclusive clips and promotional pictures!
SPOILER WARNING, this video will feature official content and theories related to Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 6! You have been warned!
Welcome to Trek Central! I’m your host, Captain Jack, and let’s get into it!
This week's official episode synopsis is all about Picard and the crew infiltrating the gala on the eve of the Europa Mission which Renee Picard is Integral to,
especially with the focus on the restoration of the timeline as Picard and crew know it.
It also alludes to the fact that Korre, the daughter of Adam Soong, will make some sort of discovery about her fathers work.
It’s unlikely the last we’ve seen of Adam Soong and It would not surprise me if he shows up to the Gala, with the help of Q,
which would also explain how all still fit into the storyline adventure.

The main trailer for this week's episode fills in a mystery that we have been wondering about for sometime now with the second season of Star Trek: Picard.
This would revolve around Doctor Jurati taking the stage and given last week's revelation about the Borg Queen now taking over, it makes even more sense.
I am referring to the secret Star Trek: Picard trailer that shows a woman walking down the road in a red dress.
Previous trailers never gave away who this is, but thanks to last week and this week's episodes,
we’ve got our answer and why it fits into the story, mostly.
The trailer gives us clear shots of Renee Picard walking around the event hall. It’s clear the crew's plan is still protecting Renee from anyone tampering with the future,
as Rios even states that without her, they don’t get their future back.
This being the lovely future with Rios looking fabulous in his Starfleet uniform.
Jurati is also seen on stage with the band,
perhaps The Borg Queen has taken over and given her some musical talent.
New trek has done a lot with Kesselian Opera, first being heard in Discovery and then in Season 1 of Picard, and Jurati was the one listening to it.
So it could be a cool little connectivity moment to hear Jurati sing some Kesselian Opera, but maybe that music isn't right for this format.
We can even see the Queen teasing her, likely taunting and taking control where and when she wants.
Agnes even goes in for a sweet kiss with Rios as well, pulling him via the tie. Let’s not forget that these two were previously in a relationship,
which somehow dissolved in between Season One and Season Two.
Renee seems to go walkabout in the trailer, perhaps having her anxiety flare up and the need to go somewhere else.
Rios can be seen chasing after her, along with Picard who is trying to communicate with the team.
Though the game is on foot when the CCTV camera detects that Jean-Luc is not who he says he is as he is now in trouble.
The situation does indeed go from bad to worse as Raffi puts it, while Jean-Luc is found unconscious on the floor.
I’ve got some theories for why this has happened later on in this video, so stick around for that one.
Though it does appear that all the the characters rush to his aid and some can be hard saying certain things like “we’re losing him” and “Stay with us Jean-Luc”
Right, let’s quickly touch on the promotional pictures for Star Trek: Picard, then we’ll go to The Ready Room and then onto some crazy theories for this week's episode.
Some of the pictures do giveaway a theory I had from last week, in which we see Jean-Luc talking with Renee Picard.
As I suspected, It’s likely the characters have a quick heart to heart and talk more about the future and why Renee is important.
Of course Picard can’t say too much about the future, else the Federations Time Police will get involved and smack him back.
That is even if they can exist outside of the mixed up timeline shenanigans right now… then again, we do see the same actor who played Lieutenant Ducane in Voyager in the trailer.
Additionally, promotional pictures do show Renee and Jean-Luc walking around the gala centre and standing next to the Nomad probe.
This space probe was launched in the 21st century and designed to seek out new lifeforms and interstellar space.
The designer, Doctor Jackson Roykirk, was referenced in a previous episode of Picard’s second season, so go find that if you want.
Whether Nomad will be important to Picard’s overall story, who knows, but we do know the USS Enterprise will run into it in 2267,
which is explored through The Original Series episode “The Changeling”.
Other promotional pictures do show Seven of Nine and Raffi looking fantastic,
as well as Jean-Luc spending some quality time with Tallin, aka The Watcher.
This week's Ready Room episode gives us a conversation between Tallinn and Jean-Luc,
one that gets a little bit personal towards the end and leans into the relationship hinted between Laris and Picard in Episode One of the second season.
As we know, that conversation is still weighing heavily on Jean-Luc.
Renee Picard is summoned for promotional pictures with the Europa Mission, as Jean-Luc and crew watch on.
This is where the conversation begins between Tallinn and Jean-Luc as they are observing how Renee is handling herself at the Gala.
Picard thinks she is doing well, while Tallinn obviously knows her better due to observing so much of her life.
Tallinn reveals that she has been protecting Renee from afar for 24 years, never once making contact or personally interacting with her.
These are the rules the Supervisors follow, to not directly interfere with those they are supposed to supervise.
Tallinn makes a note that she has lost touch on interacting with Humans, something that Laris has remarked in one way or another before I would imagine.
While Picard is dumbfounded with Tallinn not making contact with Renee, The Watcher does reveal that the code she lives by is all about no connection and therefore no relationship with those they are supervising.
You can see where the connection between Laris and Jean-Luc is coming into comparison here.
Tallinn remarks that she is a ghost to Renee and that this is the best way to be for Renee’s protection.
Picard asks the question “and who is watching over you”.
This question not only reminds me of The Next Generation episode of “Who Watches The Watchers”,
but also connects with the idea that the Supervisors are governed by someone else. The question here sorta has a double meaning in a sense.
In one way, Picard is implying that Tallinn is alone and needs some company as she is isolated and just a ghost.
Picard sees Tallinn as Laris, his Romulan Housekeeper from the main pre-divergence timeline.
On the other hand, Jean-Luc could be asking generally who actually keeps The Watchers in check and if Tallinn has any contact with them in a sense.
Some have theorised that the Supervisors themselves might be as powerful as Q, well atleast the race which oversees them in a sense.
You know when we discuss time stuff like this and mysterious super races get super complicated. Let’s move to the next theory!
The Borg Queen’s revenge! Not only do we see her taking control of Agnes in the episode 6 previews, but we also see Jean-Luc knocked out on the floor.
With some trailer footage showing Jurati in her red dress running around the streets of LA, it could be likely that the Borg Queen takes control of Agne’s body, takes out Picard, the person she sees as the leader and biggest threat to her plans, and tries to escape.
Some other scenes we see in trailers are some 21st century police officers seemingly assimilated, with the nanoprobes black veins showing on their skins, and green laser sights on their guns.
Perhaps we will leave episode 6 as our heist mission, and go on to stopping the Borg Queen from starting a new Borg Collective in 2024.
Though we do have to circle back to Q and Adam Soong.
Q has a very Khan from Star Trek: Into Darkness feel with him, helping someone cure their daughter in order for a favour.
Now in the last episode we did leave it with Q asking Soong to remove an obstacle for him, that obstacle being Renee Picard.
How will Soong seemingly take out Renee Picard, if after the Gala she is put into quarantine ready for the Europa launch.
Another possible idea is that Soong’s experiments on soldiers with Operation Spearhead, wasn't just a throwaway line,
but he could pull in some favours to get said Private Military Company to kidnap Renee Picard.
This could be the soldiers we believed are assimilated, but actually are just augments created by Soong.
There are many possible ways this story can go, and we still have all the borg stuff to contend with when we return to the 25th century,
unless that is kept hanging for our third season, but as we are now across the halfway mark for Star Trek: Picard Season 2,
it has definitely been an amazing ride and we can't wait to see what more there is to come!
But what do you think might happen over these next couple of weeks of Star Trek Picard?
