Star Trek: Picard | Season 1, Episode 7 Recap: “Nepenthe”

Jessica Liese (@HaymakerHattie) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are willing to take in Viveen and eleven other languages about how much they loved this week’s episode of Star Trek: Picard, entitled “Nepenthe.”

The two get into “Nepenthe,” the show’s most emotional hour yet. It’s a blast from the past as William Riker and Deanna Troi make their Picard debuts, helping their former captain in his hour of need. Elsewhere, Dr. Jurati’s guilt begins to fester, and a shocking death puts a somber note on the proceedings.

Jess and Mike will be bringing recaps of Star Trek: Picard every weekend throughout season one. For feedback on the episodes, reach out to them or @PostShowRecaps on Twitter or email feedback@postshowrecaps.com.

About Star Trek: Picard …

CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard featuring Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven years on Star Trek: The Next Generation and across several feature films.

It will also feature appearances from previous Star Trek actors and characters, including Brent Spiner as Data, Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, and Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi. Star Trek: Picard airs weekly on CBS All Access in the United States and is distributed concurrently internationally by CBS Studios International on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories and in Canada on Bell Media’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel and OTT service Crave.
