This episode sees the return of Ro Laren. A character that I was excited to see return because it completely surprised me.
But once again, like they did with Hugh the Borg in an earlier season, they just don't know how to develop a character without killing them off. Any worthwhile cameo is quickly done away with.
Ro Laren is the most criminally underused cameo that has popped onscreen yet, and could have been a terrific redemption arc that did not need to come to a conclusion in one episode. It's frankly just lazy writing, not to mention it made little sense as to how she went out.
While Season 3 of Picard has proven to be a pleasant surprise, there are still incidences of when the writing and plot lets itself down. This is one of them.
