One of Star Trek: Picard season 3's new young heroes received a promotion in the series finale, but many viewers might have missed it. Following the defeat of the Borg and the Changelings at the disastrous Frontier Day, promotions were granted by Starfleet. Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) became an Admiral and was made head of Starfleet Medical for her work in curing Borg-infected Starfleet Officers and identifying Changelings posing as Starfleet Officers. Meanwhile, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) was formally made Captain of the USS Enterprise-G.
Star Trek: Picard season 3 ended with a time jump to one year later where Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), the son of Admirals Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Beverly Crusher, is now a graduate of an accelerated Starfleet Academy program. Ensign Crusher was assigned to the new Enterprise and named as Special Counselor to the Captain. Jack will be seated on the Enterprise bridge to Captain Seven's left, and he'll be surrounded by his crew mates like Lt. Matthew Mura (Joseph Lee), and Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), who shared a flirtation with Picard's son during season 3.
