Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) was right about his unfair advantage at Starfleet Academy at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3. Picard season 3 wrapped up the series, bringing the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation back for a final farewell and introducing Jack as the son of Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Although Beverly keeping Jack from Jean-Luc led to a fair amount of tension between the three for most of the season, the last few scenes of the finale showed the family enjoying a new-found amicable relationship with each other a year after saving the Starfleet from the Borg.
Star Trek: Picard's finale also revealed that Jack had completed an accelerated course of study at Starfleet Academy during the one-year time jump, earning the rank of Ensign and his first posting extremely quickly. While this fast-tracking meant that he could be posted to the newly minted USS Enterprise-G under the command of Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), it was surprising to learn how fast Jack had been able to graduate. In fact, Jack himself stated that he thought nepotism and his status as Picard's son had something to do with it, despite both his parents reassuring him that it was simply a testament to his own skills.
