9. The Battle

Picard and Agnes are still trying to figure out how they're going to take on the Romulans. Agnes remembers that the Picard Maneuver is actually a thing and suggests they use the tactic once the Romulans are done obliterating the giant attacking space flowers.

The Picard Maneuver was first mentioned in the TNG episode "The Battle" in which it was stated that Picard once used warp drive to make a ship appear in two places at once to confuse the Ferengi. In this episode, Picard reminds Agnes that it wasn't the Enterprise he used for the Picard Maneuver, it was his prior command, the USS Stargazer.

The Stargazer also appeared in "The Battle" and appeared as a model in Picard's ready room in nearly every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, before it made one last appearance in Picard's nostalgia vault in "Remembrance".

Instead of using warp to pull this off, Jurati uses the magical synth tool and briefly Picard Maneuvers her own face all over the bridge of the La Sirena.
