The Cerritos has been chosen for the first mission to return to, of all places, Omara - you know the drug addict planet from TNGs Symbiosis? You would think the mission was a piece of cake, but this is Lower Decks, so nothing goes as planned - especially when a reporter from the FNN comes on board to do a report on the Cerritos and its mission. Not only does Freeman have to deal with a potentially damning interview from, of all people, Mariner, but she also has to deal with an old enemy of the Federation during a sneak attack! There is a pie eating contest, there is great artwork about life on Ornara and there are great messages about trust and friendship on this penultimate episode of season 3, Trusted Sources!

Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus
This week on Star Trek Lower Decks, its time for the biggest sequel in the history of Holodeck blockbusters as Boimler tries to outdo Mariners first adventure Crisis Point. Captain Dagger (Boimler) and his crew of the USS Wayfarer have to stop the Romulans from changing history when they steal a device called the Chronogami! But after some devastating news, Boimler is more concerned with finding out the true meaning of life so he makes Tendi acting Captain while he and Mariner go on their own holodeck quest for answers. With some great callbacks to almost every Star Trek movie, as well as some awesome guest voices, plus a cliffhanger to bring the house down, Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus comes at us at warp speed with some great character development and amazing visuals! Dan, Kasey and Bill have a great time talking about a sequel that is better than the original (kinda like TWOK and TMP) and also some big moments like Tendi wanting to be a Captain for real and how back fat can actually show you where the secret of life can be found (and yeah, that is as gross as it sounds).

Along the way, they run into some unexpected challenges, like a Holodeck "Bonnie & Clyde" simulation run by Shax and Dr. T'ana, as well as actually bonding with the Delta's - or so it would seem. Meanwhile, after yet another possession of Captain Freeman by those pesky Masks, the ship is a mess and the engineering crew is at wits ends. She insists they all take time off to relax on the spa ship "The Dove", but it is soon discovered that she is more stressed out than Rutherford and his team members! Black Bander alert!!

This week Mike B., Mike T., Jamie, and Fran, discuss the episode "Watcher" and its impact on us. Raffi and Seven try to find a way to rescue Rios from the position he's gotten himself into, while Jurati needs to make a deal with the Borg Queen to assist. Picard works to track down the Watcher in Los Angeles and ends up meeting a young old friend who's at a crossroads. What did we think of the episode? What do we learn about ourselves from the episode, and do we finally find out who the Watcher is? Listen and find out on Discovering Trek: Picard.
