Star Trek: Picard

Isa Briones would go barefoot once again in the first season of Star Trek: Picard.

In the back to back episodes The Impossible Box and Nepenthe, she's now playing Dahj, the twin sister of Soji--who was killed at the end of the first episode.

In a plot point that's too silly to detail here, Dahj is made to walk down some sort of mystical Romulan pathway (one that's set up on a captured Borg cube) in order to conjure up some memories that she had as a child.

But before she can do the recall walk, Dahj is required to remove her shoes, first. She does so, and she then walks around barefoot. I wasn't crazy about this mystical element that the Picard writers tried to interject here. Thankfully the third season of Picard was so much better than its first two seasons.

However, despite the silliness, I really don't mind seeing the result: a very nice BF scene that's almost worthy of a barefoot moment from a Tarantino movie.

Later, she and Picard get magically teleported off the Borg cube thanks to a super duper transporter that shoots them across the universe to the planet Nepenthe, where a still-barefoot Dahj can at least enjoy a nice shower.
