Star Trek: Lower Decks prides itself on embracing the various supporting figures from earlier Star Trek shows. The animated series typically brings back ensigns and underlings for a curtain call, as well as an update on their status in Starfleet or elsewhere. Sonya Gomez, for example, captains her own ship in Season 2, Episode 10, "First First Contact." This comes after she famously spilled hot chocolate on Captain Picard as a lowly ensign in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 16, "Q Who."
