In Episode 2 of Star Trek: Picard, we learn about the Tal Shiar from Picard's friends Laris and Zhaban, who were formerly members of the Romulan intelligence agency. They suspect that a subset of the Tal Shiar, the Zhat Vash, may be behind the attack on Dahj (Isa Briones). Picard turns to Starfleet for help, but they turn him away. Without their support, Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) must lean on others, including Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) and Raffi Musiker. Meanwhile, we get a look at Soji's work on the Borg Cube called The Artifact, which has been separated from the Borg collective.
