This episode debuts Wesley's new haircut, which looks terrible. I guess the ship barber doesn't care for his nepo status. Sick burn, barber, totally support your decision making. Speaking of blowing Wesley out of the airlock, it's his time to shine as he's going to take this insanely inconsistent and irritating entrance exam to Starfleet. Good luck, because even the test administrators don't seem to know the parameters for success! At least he meets a hot fellow candidate who actually can stand him for two minutes and maybe gets her space number, so it's not all bad.
Another super boring old white dude who's an admiral and supposedly friends with Picard beams aboard with this Starfleet OSHA guy to inspect the ship, but the admiral is very frosty to Picard so everyone is a total diva towards the OSHA guy as a result, even though OSHA guy raises some very good questions. We see Riker mount a chair like a horse, which is weird and not as cool as he thinks it is.
And like everyone else, the OSHA dude forgets to ask about Singh, so my expectations of Starfleet are met, as I deem it an unsafe work environment and even their OSHA is underwhelming. But yes, by all means ask about Crusher's dead husband, because that's super relevant. Weirdest inspection ever.
Featuring: Air cocaine! Painted hallway backdrops! The same soundproofing foam we use! Worf apologizing to Wesley?! Jake or maybe Jkae, we aren''t sure! Very confusing social strata! Admission woes! Also, advantages for nepo babies and the rich in admissions, that aged well! A poor unsuspecting candidate for Starfleet that's being used to combat the rumors that Starfleet has been mad speciesist against the Ferengi amongst other species! A guy who loves a beam a little too much, like way too much!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
