Episode 9 of Star Trek: Picard introduced Sutra, the twin sister of Jana, a synthetic Captain Rios met 9 years ago... 1 / 7

...but Sutra's surprise appearance in episode 9 creates a plot hole! 2 / 7

In episode 8, when Rios first sees Soji, he is shocked. 3 / 7

Rios explains that Soji is identical to a synth he met 9 years a go — who was murdered, leading Rios to leave Star Fleet. 4 / 7

On Soji's home planet Coppelius, the team meets human Altan Inigo Soong, and a society of synth lifeforms. 5 / 7

Sutra is there as well, but unlike Soji, she has gold skin and eyes like Star Trek: The Next Generation's Data! 6 / 7

It doesn't make sense that Rios would fail to mention this key physical difference between Soji and Jana/Sutra. 7 / 7
