The Plot Thickens Recap

Captain Riker Steps Down

Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 5 Cast
Riker returns command to Captain Shaw, who notifies Picard, Riker, and Seven that Starfleet is on its way to retrieve the Titan and questions them. Now that he has control of his ship again, Shaw sings a cheerful tune in a turbolift with the two Starfleet veterans. In his most "Picard" moment, Jean-Luc scolds him for talking. Glorious. After taking responsibility for her actions, Beverly scans the body of the Changeling Seven murdered.
Her findings suggest that the Changelings (or at least this group of Changelings) have progressed to the point where they may pass standard blood tests used to identify them. Worf and Raffi are back and (unhappily) hitting the gym, and Raffi holds his own against Worf. Worf's handler at Starfleet intelligence sends them a message saying no to their request to visit Daystrom station. In any case, the two are determined to get to Daystrom and follow their current lead.

 

They believe the Changelings took further, more nefarious weaponry in addition to the portal cannon. They follow the clue back to M'Talas Prime, where they run across an old friend of Sneed's, their top suspect. They're in that friend or colleague's trap that they set. It's a battle to the death between Raffi and Worf, who have been set against each other.
She succeeds in killing Worf by stabbing him to the point of death. Worf's apparent resurrection gives him the upper hand over his captors, but it's an elaborate ruse. From their guide, they get a piece of technology that will allow them to breach Daystrom station and exploit the holes in the AI system guarding it.

The Comeback of Ro Laren'

Star Trek Picard Season 3 Episode 5 Cast
After Picard and Riker are arrested, Starfleet sends the U.S.S. Intrepid, a ship staffed with security officers. Cmdr. Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes), a semi-regular character on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in seasons five through seven, leads the investigation task team. In the NextGen era, when Ro was still an ensign, she was known for her sass and quick temper.
In the May 16, 1994 episode "Preemptive Strike," she made her final appearance and was tasked with infiltrating a terrorist organization fighting against the Federation known as the Maquis. Ro defected because the Maquis had valid complaints against the Federation, such as illegally trading their home colonies to the Cardassians. Picard is confused and frustrated by her sudden return to him in full Starfleet uniform, and the two argue once more.

 

As he gets older, Picard loses some of his composure. A man is less patient with waiting for outcomes and keener to broach thorny subjects. He immediately begins questioning Ro about her decision to desert the Maquis all those years ago. Ro has undergone alterations of her own, and, somewhat pleasantly, she does not feel the need to fill Picard in on every detail.
Spectators will notice that she is not sporting her traditional Bajoran earring and that the ridges on her nose are less noticeable than they formerly were. Something has taken place. Forbes returns to the character without difficulty and reunites seamlessly with Stewart in their on-screen interactions.
