Summary
- Dr. Beverly Crusher appears on a list of former Starfleet officers in "Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 4, raising questions about when she gave birth to her son, Jack Crusher.
- Beverly may have already left Starfleet and cut off contact with her friends from the USS Enterprise-E, as indicated by her name on the list.
- It is suggested that Beverly raised Jack on her own, possibly based out of London and later traveling with him to provide medical services to non-Federation worlds.
Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) appears on a list of former Starfleet officers who need protection in Star Trek: Lower Decks, and this raises the question of when she gave birth to her son, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers). Throughout Lower Decks season 4, a powerful weapon controlled by former Starfleet cadet Nick Locarno (Robert Duncan McNeill) has been targeting ex-Starfleet officers. In Lower Decks season 4, episode 9, "The Inner Fight," the USS Cerritos receives a list of people who may be in danger, and Beverly Crusher is one of the names on the list.
Much to the disappointment of Lt. Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), the USS Vancouver has been tasked with locating Dr. Crusher, while the Cerritos tracks down Nick Locarno. The appearance of Dr. Crusher's name on this list of 4 ex-Starfleet Officers means that she has already left Starfleet and likely cut off contact with her friends from the USS Enterprise-E. In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Beverly reconnects with her former crew mates and introduces Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) to Jack, the son he didn't know he had. Because of Picard's dangerous job and his disinterest in having children, Beverly made the decision to raise Jack on her own.
