WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 3, "Seventeen Seconds."Jack Crusher (Ed Speelers) experiences a strange vision in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 3, leading to speculation that something is very wrong with the character. In "Seventeen Seconds", the USS Titan-A is still being pursued through the Ryton nebula by Captain Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and her formidable ship, the Shrike. As Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) is assumed command of the Titan, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) comes to terms with Dr. Beverly Crusher's (Gates McFadden) decision to conceal his son's identity.
When the Titan's Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) is seriously wounded, he asks Jack how the Shrike was able to continue tracking the Titan through the nebula. This led Jack and Commander Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) to investigate an act of sabotage that allowed poison gas to escape from the ship. Confronted by the saboteur, Jack's gas mask was torn from his face, forcing him to inhale large quantities of the potentially fatal gas. As he struggled to maintain consciousness, he saw a vision of Seven instructing him to "connect the branches," and Jack saw flashes of a storm, a rolling sea, and a mysterious red door. Here's what it could mean for Jack Crusher in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
