Early on in this week’s episode, the reality of Jean-Luc fathering a son he never knew with Beverly Crusher began to set in, and the two friends and former lovers stepped aside to have a frank conversation about why Beverly kept Jack’s existence a secret for so long.
(Beverly insisted Jean-Luc was too dedicated to Starfleet and she didn’t want to endanger her child, while Jean-Luc wished he’d been given a chance to get to know his son.)
It was raw and emotional, even difficult to watch at times… and it wasn’t any easier to write and film, either.
“It took two months to really hone and craft that scene, with many different writers,” Matalas reveals.
“All of us contributed to it, including Patrick [Stewart] and Gates [McFadden] and Jonathan [Frakes, who directed the episode]. We rehearsed it many times.
It was the most difficult scene of the season to get right.”
