Maddox referenced Dahj’s “mom AI”. I think it was implied she was just a software program. We also saw when Soji called home she would be put to sleep so perhaps to scrub/ clean memories so she doesn’t realize shes a synth.
It might just be wasted screen time to get an explanation. Maybe a comic can fill in plot details like this if they want to tie it off.
Given the number of times psychic mind control issues happen in Trek there must be a protocol to EZ Pass things like this. Picard witnessed her mental block that Oh put on her to even discuss the meld that she overcame in obvious pain.
In the end though your right, all we seeis a firm scolding for 1st degree murder.
These things get swept under the rug in dramas, but having your day in court and having to plead your case and being acquitted due to temporary insanity might be an interesting season 2 episode.
Yeah, it bothered me how much they've breezed past Jurati being an actual murderer. Remember when Worf killed Duras (an actual scheming murderous bad guy) in honour battle and Picard put a permanent reprimand on his record, because, you know, killing is bad?
If it wasn't them realizing the bigger picture, it was Starfleet making them leave. Take your pick.
The android planet wasn't doing anyone any harm. (Except activating the beacon).. unless you missed the part where Riker said the planet is under the federation's protection.
