A further look at a Star Trek: Picard season 3 character's service record reveals that they once stalked Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). The whereabouts of Admiral Janeway was a mystery throughout Picard season 3, leading some viewers to speculate that the former USS Voyager captain had been replaced by a Changeling. However, it wasn't Captain Vadic (Amanda Plummer) who had been stalking Janeway prior to Picard's season 3 premiere, the perpetrator was someone closer to home.
An Easter egg hidden in a scene from Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 1, "The Next Generation", revealed the identity of Janeway's stalker. The details as to why Janeway was being stalked were left as a mystery, but there are hints that it was an extension of the stalker's mental state at the time. The biggest surprise is that Janeway's stalker is the former – possibly current – romantic partner of Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and is now serving aboard the USS Enterprise-G as her Number One. This development could make Seven and Janeway's eventual reunion supremely awkward.
