Plus: Details on Star Trek: Mission Chicago and More!

Picard and crew’s misadventures in 21st century Los Angeles continue as Rios is abducted by I.C.E., with Raffi and Seven hot on his tail. Meanwhile, Picard attempts to locate the mysterious “watcher,” while encountering a (somewhat) familiar face.
