Here's exactly when to watch Picard Episode 8, "Broken Pieces"

It's time to take Soji home.

by Jen Glennon

Last week's episode of Star Trek: Picard, "Nepenthe," was a cozy, bittersweet respite from the harrowing journeys of Jean-Luc and Soji. The duo got some much-needed rest, relaxation, and pizza at the home of the now-married Will Riker and Deanna Troi. The episode also introduced their daughter, Kestra, and their late son, Thaddeus. His tragic illness highlights the broader, unseen cost of the Federation's ban on synthetic life. New and familiar faces alike reflected on Data's legacy, and what he meant to everyone. It was sentimental without being sappy, and essential viewing for any Next Generation fan. But Picard and Soji can't stay on Nepenthe forever, not with the Tal Shiar hot on their tails.

What to expect from Picard Episode 8, "Broken Pieces"

After bonding a bit with Kestra and Deanna, Soji seemed to loosen up a bit around Picard, letting him know a bit more about her past experiences and current existential crises. Presumably, we'll learn more about Dahj and Soji's home planet, what Doctor Jurati's been up to all this time, and (extremely Tina Turner voice) what the Borg have to do with it. And let's not forget, we last saw Elnor call in a favor from a certain Fenris Ranger...

Here's the official synopsis for "Broken Pieces," courtesy of CBS:

When devastating truths behind the Mars attack are revealed, Picard realizes just how far many will go to preserve secrets stretching back generations, all while the La Sirena crew grapples with secrets and revelations of their own. Narissa directs her guards to capture Elnor, setting off an unexpected chain of events on the Borg cube.
