Picard’s Voyager Callback Missed A Perfect Star Trek: Enterprise Crossover
Warning: SPOILERS forStar Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 8 — «Mercy»
Agent Martin Wells (Jay Karnes) in Star Trek: Picard season 2 is an unexpectedStar Trek: Voyager crossover but Picard also missed out on a perfect way to link up with Star Trek: Enterprise. Wells appeared in 10 Forward at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 7 to arrest Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Guinan (Ito Aghayere) under suspicion of being aliens (although Wells was actually right about Guinan).

Jay Karnes played Lt. Ducane in the Star Trek: Voyager season 5 episode, «Relativity.» Ducane was a 29th-century Starfleet Officer on the Federation timeship Relativity. Ducane recruited Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) to help him identify a saboteur who would destroy the USS Voyager in the 24th century. Because Ducane enforced time travel, Voyager viewers naturally guessed that Agent Wells was really Ducane crossing over toStar Trek: Picard because Jean-Luc and his motley crew violated the Temporal Prime Directive. However, Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 8, «Mercy,» debunked that Wells was really Ducane.
