Yeah I've actually thought about this.

Like... did Q just re-create existence around him? Or did he pluck Prime Picards consciousness and dump it into the body of Beta Picard? I like to think it's the latter with Beta Picard in the background just like "Wait... what? What's happening?" and then Q and Picard fuck off leaving this poor dude to desperately rely on therapy for the next couple years.

I think this is a rare case where “it was all a dream” is fine

My headcanon is that Q shifted Picard to an alternate quantum reality. Like what happened to Worf that one time.

Q has made little pocket realities before that don't seem to affect the rest of the universe.

We need a Lower Decks style series about this ensign Picard. Lower Decks style as in it's not about the captain but the lower decks

So like the episode of TNG titled "Lower Decks" and not the series titled "Lower Decks?"

Holy shit, was this a real episode? Anyone got the Season Episode and Title handy? I know at least a few of you nerds do

It reads like a Chief O’Brien at Work strip. Except he wouldn’t say “hey what the fuck” because he would just be so sad he couldn’t speak.

On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.
