Riker's Starfleet Uniform Doll of Picard
Riker holds up a small doll dressed in a Starfleet uniform during the observation lounge discussion of Captain Picard Day. He manipulates the doll to mimic Picard's rigid posture and formal demeanor, drawing laughter from Troi and Worf while Picard shifts uncomfortably. The doll captures children's exaggerated crafts celebrating Picard as a hero, its tiny uniform and stiff pose amplifying the teasing contrast between his private humility and public idolization.
