As the helmsman of the Titan, Sidney is proving her mettle piloting the starship in the Ryton nebula, the dangerous expanse of space where Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) rescued Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and her son, Jack (Ed Speleers). Meanwhile, Seven of Nine was punished by her Captain, Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick), for helping Picard and Riker.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut delves into one of Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 3's pleasant surprises: Sidney La Forge has formed a friendship with Seven of Nine. Sidney and Seven's bond is one of the warm spots on Captain Shaw's business-like Titan, and Ashlei details why the First Officer and the helmsman became friends. Read her quote below:
First of all, Jeri is just phenomenal, and I mean outside of Star Trek [too]. But jumping in and finding this relationship because Seven of Nine knows, or Commander Seven as Sidney calls her, knows of Sidney's history and who her father is, and how she's trying to create a name for her own, she kind of takes her under her wing, and kind of helps Sidney realize that she can be outside of her dad's shadow, if that makes any sense, you know?
