Shakespeare doesn't appear often in Star Trek: Picard, but we just have to take what we can get.
In this episode, Q returns for yet another test—either of humanity in general or of Picard specifically.

I've noted that Star Trek: Picard is, in general, all kinds of terrible, and Season Two seems to be the worst of the three. That applies to its use of Shakespeare.
