'Star Trek: Picard' Showrunner on That Picard/Crusher Moment and Centering Season 3 Around [SPOILER]

We spoke w/ 'Star Trek: Picard' showrunner TerryMatalas about that Picard/Crusher scene and centering the season around Ed Speleer's character.

[Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard, Season 3, Episode 2, "Disengage."]This week's episode of Star Trek: Picard brought with it the revelation that Beverly Crusher secretly had Jean-Luc Picard's baby, and that's why she disappeared for the past 20+ years.

"You had to have Beverly Crusher have really legitimate reasons for keeping this away. So we went into a deep dive into Beverly and who she was, and we found it kind of started to make sense the more we talked about it, and the more we talked about it with Gates [McFadden]. Gates brought her own motherhood into it. And then as we brought Gates and Patrick together, and we talked about it, we were able to craft, I think, reasoning in the storyline that made sense.

"Right away, the second he says, "I'm her son," I wanted them to be like, 'They know. They both know what's up.' And the idea that Riker pokes him a little bit. It's like, 'There's just something about him.' And to play the denial, for Picard, that is, 'it just can't be true. It just can't be true.' So that [when] he has that admission by the end its really satisfying.
