Preview — Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 3: Assimilation
The crew of the La Sirena heads back to the past in Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 3, “Assimilation,” where they will have to track down the mysterious “Watcher,” who–at least, according to the Borg Queen–will be able to help them identify the moment or change that caused the wild divergence in the original timeline.
Last week, we learned that whatever it was that Q mysteriously changed rewrote time to the point that the world we know transformed into an authoritarian nightmare.
In this new version of reality, Picard wasn’t the beloved Starfleet admiral we know now, but a terrifying warrior who advocated for a humans-only galaxy and literally decorated his office with the skulls of his defeated enemies.
Now, Picard and friends will have to figure a way to set things right, and their arrival in 2024 is merely the first step along the way.
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview!
