Wil accidentally interupts a rather serious conversation between Blake and [[Rairen Caide]], inviting her to breakfast. She introduces him to the Ranger, and defends the man's cold tone during their conversation. She admits feeling guilty about Lukaik's death in Marshal custody, though Wil reassures her they all joined Starfleet to make things better, and that they all learn from their mistakes. They joke that he would would be a witness in the unlikely event she was ever brought to trial over the incident.

When ''Veritas'' is pulled into "the Void", Blake runs into Wil in Sickbay following a ship-wide loss of power. Alongside [[Nic del Vedova]], they evacuate the crew to Cargo Bay 2 of the ship. Just as he attempts to leave, Wil zones out—a consequence of a telepathic conversation with [[Raissa Moonsong]]. Concerned for his well-being, Blake and del Vedova attempt to move a prone Wil to a safer area, but he recovers quickly—though keen eyes may note Blake was hesitant to release her supportive hold of him.

Blake cares for Wil almost as if he were a younger brother (possibly influenced by their near-decade age difference). The two connect quickly over their odd relations to Betazoid noble houses. On duty, Blake finds Wil's chirpy (and occasionally clumsy) attitude on the job particularly refreshing, his positive demeanour leaving an ongoing impact on the all-work-no-play Brekkazoid. Because of this, Blake may quickly jump to his defence when she deems necessary. She often encourages Wil to "be careful", worrying that his merry work ethic may one day prove his downfall.  
While rehabilitating from her spinal cord transplant, she attributes the procedure to Wil's "blunder" in discovering the [[Sky Blake (hologram)|Blake hologram]]. He later comes to her quarters to check in on her recovery. After briefly discussing the hologram, the conversation turns to Blake's relationship with her kids. She admits she doesn't recognise her two children as being "hers", but feels an obligation to provide them with a stable lifestyle—which she feels she can't give them, explaining their relocation to relatives. She fears others perceive this choice as "abandoning" her children, but Wil dissuades her concerns, telling her "not every situation is a one size fits all."


The two are contrasting representations of Betazoid hybrids: while Blake shies away from her heritage, Wil encourages her to have an open mind about it. His willingness to engage in telepathic conversation with other Betazoids leaves her slightly unsettled and concerned for his well-being.
In a mistaken attempt to contact [[Sky Blake (alternate)|the alternate Blake]], Wil interrupts an argument between Blake, [[Hannibal Parker]], and [[Kelrod]]. Blake is momentarily relieved by the break in the tension, but is distraught upon having to clarify ''which'' Blake she is. Later, Blake and Wil survey the recently re-taken USS ''Newcastle''. Blake catches the Human in front of the skantily-clad hologram once owned by [[Henley Marths]]; Jezebelle. An amused Blake teases him about the incident, and they move on to "claim" rum they find in Marths' stocks as Starfleet property. Wil brings up the communicator incident, leading Blake to retell her argument with Parker and that she is concerned Parker wants her to be the "old Blake". Afterward, Wil jokingly offers to make lunch in the atrocious galley of the ''Newcastle''.
 
After greeting [[Antero Flynn]] and [[Emi]] as they board ''Veritas'', [[Roshanara Rahman]] remarks they should consider getting a band together to welcome new crew members aboard, on account of their crew's hidden musical talents. Rahman points out how [[Charlena Vanlith]] is a singer—to which Blake remarks that "Wil Ukinix is our Chief Engineer. Everyone in Engineering knows how to sing."
 
At Rahman's request, Wil and Blake join their captain in getting official portrait photographs taken. Wil asks whether he's the "first bearded Wil in Starfleet", though Blake points out another [[MA:Will Riker|"Will"]] and jokes Wil has been spelling his own name wrong. Wil is present when Blake makes a fuss about having the [[Colonial Coalition]] flag in her Starfleet portrait.
 
On an away mission seeking the missing ''Duncan Dunbar'', Wil and Blake accidentally engage in first contact with a pre-warp civilisation. Unfortunately, they realise this too late and stumble through explanations for words like "asteroid" to species they're not permitted to explain it to.

Blake cares for Wil almost as if he were a younger brother (possibly influenced by their near-decade age difference). Coincidentally, they are both members of Betazed nobility, suggesting they are (very) distant relatives, and the two connected over their odd relations to Betazoid noble houses. On duty, Blake finds Wil's chirpy and occasionally clumsy attitude on the job particularly refreshing, his positive demeanour leaving an ongoing impact on the all-work-no-play Brekkazoid and often inadvertently lightens her demeanour when she quips back at his jokes. Because of this, Blake quickly comes to Wil's defence with very little thought—sometimes requiring strategic thinking to get them ''out'' of a situation Wil's abrupt actions may have gotten them into. She often encourages Wil to "be careful," and often worries his merry work ethic may one day prove his downfall.
