The phrase is Latin and means "Even in Arcadia, there am I" and is generally interpreted as a memento mori, or reminder of death. We can’t be your means of redemption. But not as much as I disgust myself for pitying you." What a sad and twisted thing you are. And Narek has escaped and may become an unlikely ally to the rest of Picard’s crew, still free at the moment back on La Sirena. They’ve been ruthless and their meddling has almost certainly brought all of this down on their own heads. She makes this known to Rios, who caringly caresses her in a manner that implies their one-night stand may be turning into something more.

Fearful for her home planet, Soji tells him, "This isn’t the Romulan rescue. Sutra is happy about this encounter because she thinks Soji and her friends have brought her vital information — namely, the Admonition. She’s mastered the Vulcan mind meld, and uses it on Agnes. After landing on Coppelius with hope in his heart, the Romulan threat and reveal of the group behind the Admonition has only stoked the fears of the synths, turning them to violence. These ancient synths somehow exist outside of time and space and are waiting for a call for help. Jurati also pledges her loyalty to the synths, saying this is the culmination of everything she's worked for.

He renews his love for her, despite his attempt on her life on the Artifact. First is the Borg Cube, reactivated and piloted by Seven of Nine. First, though, everyone agrees to visit the Artifact to see if Hugh and Elnor are still alive.

Seven gets the Artifact’s long-range scanners operational, allowing Raffi to see that 218 Romulan warbirds are on their way. The one pictured above is the second of the two, and the more famous (now in the Louvre). Data is certainly a presence on Coppelius, quite literally in this case. A strange an unexpected threat has suddenly reared its ugly head. In Thursday’s penultimate episode of Picard, our rag-tag crew finds itself in orbit around Soji’s home world. That yearning bleeds to synthetic life. Part 1 of the Picard finale ends on a fearful and dour note for the titular character. Is that clear?”. First, though, comes a Detour to the Artifact. This murder is the pretext Sutra needs for her true scheme, which she reveals to a public audience. The predicament has Soji confiding in Picard about the logic of sacrifice, and how killing someone is made out of fear of that being the only choice. Sutra approaches Soji's situation optimistically, seeing this as an opportunity to get answers. At idyllic Coppelius Station, Soji is greeted by synthetic twins Arcana (Jade Ramsey) and Saga (Nikita Ramsey), who know Soji as well as Picard. Speaking to the other synths, she uses it as a drop in the bucket of the horde of organics come to murder them. He tries to trick Saga into dropping his cell’s defenses, but Soji thwarts that ruse. But organics perceive this perfection as a threat. Elnor wants to join Picard on his quest, but he says Elnor is needed on the Artifact to get its defense systems online and to help the XBs. “There will be no further discussion. Organic life evolves. She is working with Soong to transfer his mind into a synth body, after all, and she’s “as close to a mother” as any of them have, according to the doctor. Waiting for your signal. But Narek turns Soji's attention back to the matter at hand, warning his people are on their way to rain fire and kill every living thing on this planet. Picard objects, maintaining, “There’s a difference between killing an attacking enemy and watching a wounded one die.” Before Picard can beam Narek to their sickbay, the Artifact shows up along with five giant orchids — defense mechanisms of Coppelius — that knock out La Sirena and the Artifact’s power, causing them both to plummet to the planet below. She argues that humans will always hurt synthetics and that the Admonition wasn’t a warning but a “promise” from “higher synthetic beings” that are watching them. The audience is seemingly seeing the Admonition through a synthetic mind now, as the message from the Admonition is much clearer upon this viewing. You disgust me, Narek. A stunned Picard is greeted by Dr. Altan Inigo Soong (Brent Spiner), who knew his appearance would have this effect on the captain since he looks like “Data if he’d gotten old and gone soft.” Soong describes himself as a “mad scientist," explaining, "My father had me but he created Data. As Elnor gleefully hugs Picard, Seven informs him that she tracked the La Sirena's location when she connected to the Cube. The hard landing not only knocks out the La Sirena's systems, but also Picard himself. Before they can proceed forward, though, they're ambushed by a tailing Narek. Sutra wants to call for their help, but Soji isn’t so sure. Soji’s golden-skinned doppelganger, and apparent leader of the synths, Sutra, tells them that the Romulans have been driving themselves mad for centuries trying to decipher a message that was never intended for them. It seemed likely that the synth would, somehow, turn out to be an actual threat and that the Romulans would be the “heroes” (but also still major pricks). Soji may be on board with Sutra’s plan for now, but her misgivings about organic-life genocide suggest she’s going to do the right thing in next week’s finale. 0; No flashback this week. At Picard's urging, Elnor stays behind, even if that means saying goodbye to his father figure for perhaps the final time. All alone, Picard is placed under house arrest, escorted away from the group. Hopefully these questions are answered next week. Soji, once a doubter, is now fully on board despite Picard’s protests. I write about video games, TV and movies. The message talks about organic life creating androids, eventually destroying them for fear of becoming a threat. Sutra counters that hers is the only way, since “to them, we’re monsters.

On the one hand, they’ve found something of a paradise, their quest’s final goal and also perhaps brought upon themselves the total destruction of the galaxy. Later, Rios finds Jurati, who’s staying behind to finish Maddox’s incomplete work. But not as much as I disgust myself for pitying you." If Discovery’s crew was acting heroically to stop that threat, what makes the Romulans any different? Finite.
