Troi appears in the Star Trek: Picard season 1 episode "Nepenthe", set twenty years after Nemesis where she is married to Riker and they have two children, Thad (deceased) and Kestra.
Riker returns to the screen in the "Nepenthe" episode of Star Trek: Picard. In that episode, taking place in 2399, Riker is married to Deanna Troi; they have two children, Thad (now deceased) and Kestra.
Indeed, Picard showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed in a Collider interview that Kestra is away attending Starfleet Academy. For their part, both Riker and Troi admitted to each other they don't much care for the idyllic Nepenthe, so it seems none of the family is long for the paradise planet.
Michael Chabon, showrunner for Season 1, said that he and the writers determined Troi and Riker gave their son Thaddius the middle name "Worf." Of course, viewers never got to meet this child, because he died about three years before Season 1, from a "silicon-based virus" that could've been cured if not for Starfleet's ...
In a conversation with Deanna Troi, it was revealed that Thomas had left the Gandhi and her crew to join the Maquis. Thomas had been recaptured by the Cardassians after the attempt to assassinate Gowron, and had been returned to the labor camp on Lazon II.
10 Behind The Scenes Reasons For Star Trek Characters' Quirks
What happened to Riker's kid?
In an Instagram story dated 5 March 2020, Michael Chabon stated that Thad was around 15 when he died, having lived with his family on Nepenthe for about 5 years at that point, meaning that his family moved there in 2391, and that Thad died in 2396.
After kidnapping Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) and stealing the USS Defiant, Thomas Riker attacked a Cardassian outpost and attempted to expose their secret activities in the Orias system. He was last seen handing himself in to the authorities to serve time in a Cardassian prison, and was never seen again.
The alien also emitted Eichner radiation naturally. In 2365, it wished to experience a Human existence after happening to pass by the USS Enterprise-D. It decided to impregnate Deanna Troi, becoming a half-Human, half-Betazoid male baby after a thirty-six hour term. Deanna named him after her father, Ian Andrew Troi.
In their prison cell on the Shrike, Riker and Troi finally have an open conversation about it. Riker reveals that part of what drove him away from Deanna was a loss of trust. As a Betazoid, Deanna used her alien abilities to "erase" his grief.
Riker got married in the final TNG film to Deanna Troi and she went WITH him to Titan. This was, of course, QUITE SOME TIME after the Enterprise-D bit the big one in Generations, and they were aboard the ENTERPRISE-E.
Troi was still very important to Picard season 3's story
Picard season 3 was filmed back-to-back with season 2 in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sirtis had moved to the UK, and it was difficult for her to return to the US for the entire Picard season 3 shoot.
During her time on the show, she became close friends with her co-stars Jonathan Frakes (who played Commander Riker), Michael Dorn (Lieutenant Worf) and Brent Spiner (who played Lieutenant Commander Data). The latter cast members were groomsmen at her wedding.
Similar to the concept of soul mates, those who refer to one another as Imzadi could be said to have a deep, almost spiritual, connection. Although Commander Riker and Deanna Troi are not romantically involved throughout the seven seasons of TNG, they often refer to one another as Imzadi in times of danger or stress.
The pairing was never popular with fans, who said it felt forced on the characters. Their affair ended sometime before Worf transferred to Deep Space Nine. Worf and Troi's relationship began in the seventh season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Parallels."
On Star Trek: The Next Generation, Will Riker often refers to Deanna Troi by her first name, "Deanna." However, he also occasionally calls her by a variety of endearing nicknames, including "Imzadi," which is a Betazoid term that means "beloved" or "chosen one," and "Little One," which is a term of affection that he ...
Summary. Troi wore civilian clothes for most of TNG to put her patients at ease as the ship's counselor and indicate her position. Captain Picard allowed Troi to wear civilian clothes on the bridge due to her empathic abilities and his disregard for unnecessary regulations.
Thanks to Star Trek: Picard's first season, we know where Will Riker is — on Nepenthe with his wife Deanna Troi and daughter Kestra. The couple moved to Nepenthe after their son, Thaddeus, came down with a deadly virus because the soil had regenerative properties.
Troi appears in the Star Trek: Picard season 1 episode "Nepenthe", set twenty years after Nemesis where she is married to Riker and they have two children, Thad (deceased) and Kestra.
At the age of 34 in 2370, Troi took the Bridge Officer's Test and was promoted to the rank of Commander. In Star Trek: Picard, Deanna reappears at 63 in Season 1 and has a major role in Season 3 at the age of 65, saving the day with her empathic abilities.
In this episode, ship's Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) becomes pregnant by an alien entity and gives birth to a mysterious child. This causes problems for the Enterprise, which is transporting dangerous plague strains.
The novel The Art of the Impossible establishes that Troi died when a building he and Elias Vaughn were investigating collapsed on top of them due to Romulan sabotage. As a close friend of Troi, it was Vaughn who told Lwaxana and Deanna of Troi's death and brought his body to them on Betazed.
Commander Martin Madden is introduced as the replacement for Captain Riker. The alternate ending also shows Captain Picard trying out his new Captain's chair and launching the Enterprise on a new mission.
This transporter clone was stranded on the planet Nervala IV for eight years until he was recovered by the crew of the Enterprise. After each believing himself to be the only Will Riker for eight years, the stranded clone eventually embraced his differences and adopts Rikers' middle name - Thomas.
