X! After one failed attempt, the crew are surprised to see Q appear, X! stark naked. X! After being clothed (and grousing about the colors), Q tells them X! he's been turned mortal by the Q-Continuum (and denies having anything to do X! with the moon). X! When he asks for sanctuary, then says he wants to be treated X! like any other mortal, Picard throws him in the brig. X! Shortly thereafter, a X! bright probe appears out of nowhere, and settles on the sleeping Q. X! X! When Picard asks Q what happened, Q is too concerned about human frailties such X! as sleep, and says he needs guidance for being human, and offers his experience X! and knowledge with moons to assist. X! Picard assigns Data to Q, and the two go to X! Engineering, after Data observes that Q has ``achieved in disgrace what I have X! always aspired to be.'' X! X! Q tries to help, but only suggests impossible things like changing the X! gravitational constant of the universe. X! Geordi jumps on that idea as nonsense, X! but then considers doing its equivalent by tossing a low-level warpfield around X! the moon, changing its effective mass. X! Q, hungry, goes to Ten-Forward and X! encounters Guinan. X! When Guinan hears that the crew is not convinced Q is human, X! she stabs him with a fork to see if he can bleed, then tells him he should get X! used to begging for help. X! Suddenly, a plasma cloud shows up and tries to X! communicate, then sends a probe in which seizes Q. X! When shields are X! strengthened, the probe leaves, leaving Q free, but scared out of his wits. X! X! Q tells them this cloud is part of the Calamarian, a race he once tormented, and X! that they want revenge. X! Riker suggests simply turning him over to them, but X! Data argues for Q, and Q and Data go to Engineering to help Geordi implement his X! plan. X! Q tries to take over and is quickly put in his place, then sulkingly X! helps out. X! However, as the process begins, the Calamarian move in and grab Q. X! Data holds Q safe in Engineering until shields can be put up, but then both fall X! to the floor, unconscious. X! When Q finds that Data is now heavily damaged, he X! begins to feel ashamed. X! He decides he'd rather not go on, and steals a shuttle, X! going out to meet the Calamarian. X! X! Picard, claiming ``it's a perfectly good shuttle'', tries to beam the shuttle X! back, but cannot. X! On the shuttle, a second Q pops in. X! He says Q's a lost X! cause, but claims Q's selfless act would raise all sorts of questions back in X! the Continuum if he then died, and gives Q back his powers. X! Q literally blows X! the Calamarian away, and returns to the Enterprise to celebrate. X! He eventually X! leaves, but gives Data the parting gift of one really good laugh, and returns X! the moon to its orbit as he departs, leaving Picard to wonder if some residual X! humanity is still in him.

As Commander Riker returns from the Botanica Four Research Station after talking X! with Dr. Apgar, a scientist working on Kreeger waves, the station suddenly X! explodes, killing Apgar. X! Then, Chief Investigator Krag of Tanuga Four beams aboard X! and demands Riker be extradited to face trial for murder. X! When Picard talks to Krag in private, X! he finds that the Tanugan justice system operates under the X! premise ``guilty until proven innocent''. X! Unwilling to extradite Riker, Picard says that the incident will be X! recreated on the Enterprise, via the holodeck. X! X! Eighteen hours later, the holodeck is ready (all the various depositions have X! been loaded), and the hearing begins. X! According to Riker's deposition, Apgar was X! immediately grumpy, but his wife Manua tried to seduce him. X! As he tried to gently break her away, X! Apgar found them and jumped to wrong conclusions, X! later threatening Riker's life. X! The next morning, Apgar claimed he had a good X! explanation for why he needed so much dycosilium, but Riker claimed not to be X! interested, and called the Enterprise, ready to beam back. X! Krag, however, says his researchers have found evidence of a focused X! energy pulse coming directly from Riker's position\-``clearly'' Riker X! firing a phaser at the reactor core. X! X! Then, a burst of unknown radiation is detected on the ship and investigated. X! Meanwhile, Manua's deposition is shown. X! According to it, Riker tried to rape her, and punched out Dr. Apgar X! when he was discovered, then warned Apgar against reporting this. X! Riker objects, and a short recess is declared, but Troi tells X! Riker she sensed no deception\-what she said is what she remembers happening. X! Shortly after that, a second radiation burst occurs, this one in sickbay. X! X! Wes, Geordi and Data find the two bursts occurred 5 hours, 20 minutes, and 3 X! seconds apart, and that the station was destroyed precisely four times that X! time ago, less a small delay which they can't explain. X! After the deposition of Apgar's assistant Tayna is heard, X! giving Apgar's point of view, Krag demands a X! decision from Picard, who temporizes for a while longer. X! Data then finds one phenomenon with the same time interval: the field X! generator down on the planet. X! X! Picard then realizes what actually happened: Dr. Apgar had already managed to X! create Kreeger waves (the source of the radiation bursts), but lied about it X! because he wanted, to turn it into a weapon for any number of groups other than X! the Federation. X! When Riker arrived, Apgar worried that Starfleet was getting X! suspicious, and tried to get them away quickly. X! When he discovered Riker and X! Manua together, that didn't help, and he decided to murder Riker. X! He set up the converter to deliver an energy beam to fry Riker, X! but it bounced off the transporter beam and destroyed the reactor. X! Picard demonstrates this by using the converter created by the holodeck to X! simulate the event, completely destroying the simulation. X! Riker is exonerated, and all is well.

Picard demands more evidence from Guinan, X! and refuses to send them back without a firm reason. X! Guinan cannot give any, but invokes their long history together to convince X! him that she doesn't make a stand like this unless she knows she's right. X! Picard agrees, and prepares to send them back, X! over the objections of most of the bridge crew (though Data does X! say that even if they are destroyed, it might be considered a ``meaningful'' act X! of honor by the Klingons and prevent the war anyway).

She agrees, and as Picard returns to the -D, X! Yar stays for a moment to say goodbye to Castillo. X! .sp .5v X! Suddenly, one Klingon Bird of Prey decloaks and fires, shrugging off the -D's X! phasers, damaging the -C, and killing Capt. Garrett. X! Castillo asks permission to take the ship back himself, X! and though Riker objects, Picard grants it. X! After kissing Castillo goodbye, X! Yar confronts Guinan about the way Guinan's looked at her. X! Eventually, Guinan tells her that in the other timeline, X! she died an empty death. X! Yar then requests a transfer to the -C from Picard, telling him that she X! may at least be able to provide the ship with the extra seconds or minutes it X! needs to change history. X!

However, there's a hitch: the Romulans claim that space as their own, X! and are also sending ships (2 Warbirds) to claim Tin Man for themselves. X! Picard assigns Data to work with Tam on this crisis. X! .sp .65v X! A few hours later, the sensors detect something odd, but it's a clear sign that X! they are being followed. X! Meanwhile, Troi talks to Tam (who enjoys Data, since he X! is the one being on board he cannot read), and discovers he's already in contact X! with Tin Man, still light-years away. X! As the Enterprise approaches Tin Man, X! a Warbird (which only ran this fast by irreparably damaging its engines) X! decloaks and lightly damages the Enterprise\-just X! enough to get to Tin Man first. X! .sp .65v X! Shortly afterward, the Romulans decide that if they can't communicate with Tin X! Man (and they've failed), they will destroy it. X! Tam, seeing no other option, X! warns Tin Man telepathically, and Tin Man destroys the Warbird instinctively, X! almost taking the Enterprise as well. X! .sp .65v X! Later, Tam tells Picard all he knows about Tin Man: it calls itself G'amtu, X! is very old, and has come here to die. X! He claims that to obtain any more, he must go aboard it, X! but Picard initially refuses. X! Before long, the other Warbird is approaching, X! and when Data suggests that he beam over with Tam to keep an eye on him, X! Picard agrees\-particularly when the other Warbird arrives and claims right X! of vengeance on Tin Man. X! .sp .65v X! Tam is initially overloaded by Tin Man upon arrival, but quickly recovers, and X! ends up feeling better than he ever has. X! As the Romulan commander repeats his warning to stay away to the Enterprise, X! Tam tells Data he must stay: ``this,'' he says, ``is where I belong.'' X! As the star starts to collapse, Tin Man whirls, X! and sends both ships light-years away, in opposite directions. X! Data is returned to the bridge, awestruck by what he has seen, X! and later talks to Troi about Tam's healing, X! and says that the Enterprise is where he belongs.

The crew struggles to help a painfully shy lieutenant whose obsession X! with the Holodeck could endanger the Enterprise. X .HL X--- 2085,2140 ---- X .IX holodeck X! After we see Lt. Reg Barclay beating up Riker and Geordi in 10-Forward, he is X! called to Cargo Bay 5, and exits the holodeck, saving the program he just ran. X! At Cargo Bay 5, Geordi and Riker discuss Barclay as a problem (always late, X! doesn't work well with others, eternally nervous, etc.), and then dress him down X! as he comes in. X! After dealing with a broken canister of tissue samples, the team X! gets to work analyzing a broken antigrav\-and despite all of Barclay's X! assurances, it continues to malfunction. X! X! Later, Picard tells Geordi in private that he should try harder to get to know X! Barclay, leave his prejudices in his cabin, and above all, forget Wes's nickname X! for Barclay, ``Broccoli''. X! Geordi immediately gets on that, X! inviting Reg to take part in the next morning's briefing. X! Unfortunately, he's a little late then, X! too\-and most of his suggestions are shot down by Wesley as unworkable. X! While Barclay unwinds in the holodeck with another fantasy (this one X! involving Troi as ``the goddess of empathy''), Wes, Geordi, Data, X! and Duffy (another engineer) discuss Barclay in 10-Forward. X! Then, inexplicably, Duffy's glass starts leaking. X! X! Upon further analysis, X! they find the molecular structure of the glass has been altered. X! When Geordi asks Reg to run a full Level-1 diagnostic to check into this, X! he's surprised to find Reg was already going to, to check on the antigrav. X! Data suggests the two incidents could be related, X! but later claims it was Reg's idea to Picard. X! Picard is happy to hear it, but accidentally calls Barclay X! ``Broccoli'' himself, further dampening Reg's self-confidence. X! Later, Guinan defends Reg to Geordi, X! saying that most of his actions are because of how he's X! been treated, not just the reverse. X! Unfortunately, when Geordi finds Reg this time, X! Reg is living out a fantasy of beating Geordi, Data, and Picard in swordplay. X! Geordi later tells Reg that although it's unusual, he won't report it X! or demand a transfer, but suggests he root himself a bit more in reality, and X! consult Troi. X! Then, as if that weren't enough, Transporter 3 malfunctions. X! X! Reg goes to see Troi, but quickly leaves, too nervous to stay around. X! Later, when Reg doesn't show up on the bridge when called, Riker, Troi, X! and Geordi go to find him on the holodeck\-and find him living out X! several fantasies at once (not amusing Riker or Troi one bit). X! As all four leave, Geordi and Reg head to Engineering, X! and Geordi tells Reg that he's needed out in the real world right now. X! Then, to make matters worse, the matter and antimatter injectors to the X! warp engines jam, making the ship accelerate out of control. X! Before long, Reg proposes that one of them might be the problem, X! and Geordi quickly finds that the broken canister contained traces of Invidium, X! which caused all the problems. X! They cool the Invidium down until it's inert, X! and manage to power down the warp engines. X! Finally, Barclay bids the holodeck-bridge goodbye, and erases all X! programs\-``except program 9''.

To neutralize a contaminated water supply in a nearby system, the Enterprise X! is taking on board the highly volatile hytritium, sold to them by the trader X! Kivas Fajo. X! Data flies the shuttle to make the back-and-forth trips, X! but is seized by Fajo on the last trip, who then sends his shuttle back X! empty and blows it up, to make it look as though Data's been destroyed. X! Seeing no evidence to the contrary, X! the Enterprise is forced to leave for the Beta Agni system X! (fortunately, they now have just enough hytritium to complete their mission). X! X! When Data awakes, he is told that he is the ``crown jewel'' in Fajo's collection X! of rare and unique things. X! He cannot open the door, and cannot touch Fajo, who X! is wearing a proximity-activated forcefield which impedes positronic flow. X! Fajo tells him he'd better get used to his new life, X! and frequently suggests to him that he just ``sit in the chair'' and behave. X! Meanwhile, Geordi agonizes over X! Data's seeming death, and tells Picard and Riker he can find no reason for the X! explosion...except pilot error, which is virtually impossible for Data. X! X! While Data tries to suborn Fajo's assistant Varria (who tells Data of Fajo's X! lavishness, both in rewards and in punishments), Picard chooses Worf as the new X! Ops officer. X! Fajo then tries many ways to get Data to sit in his chair and be a X! good little toy, including dissolving his uniform (to make him wear the clothes X! Fajo wants), and claiming to be Data's liberator\-here, he says, Data cannot be X! called upon to violate his ``fundamental respect'' for life by killng. X! Data, however, eventually pretends to be naught more than a mannequin, X! embarrassing Fajo in front of his friend and rival. X! Meanwhile, while Troi tries to help Worf X! get used to replacing another dead crewmate, Geordi realizes Data didn't X! entirely follow protocol on the last trip (suggesting that there may have been X! something wrong with him), and when they reach the Beta Agni system, they find X! evidence that the contaminant may have been deliberately planted. X! Upon further inspection, X! they realize that the whole thing may have been an elaborate game to X! obtain Data, and head for the site of the shuttle explosion. X! X! Meanwhile, Varria, whom Fajo earlier threatened with a particularly nasty X! disruptor to get Data to sit in his chair, tells Data she'll help him escape if X! he'll take her along. X! While the Enterprise slowly tracks Fajo down, Varria X! starts the escape pod's launch sequence, only to be overpowered by security. X! After Data removes the security, Fajo comes in and shoots Varria with one of the X! disruptors, then claims the blood is on Data's hands. X! Data picks up the other disruptor, X! and despite Fajo's confidence that Data cannot shoot, being ``only an X! android'' pulls the trigger\-only to have the Enterprise beam him aboard just as X! he fired. X! Fajo is taken into custody and his collection confiscated, but when he X! asks Data if that gives him pleasure, Data replies, ``No, sir\-it does not. X! I do not feel pleasure. X!

Although his aides seem overly concerned with his health (Sarek X! himself says they're overprotective and seems fine), and Sarek is slightly X! cranky (as cranky as a Vulcan ever gets), all seems well. X! (We do, however, see a bit later that Sarek is currently unable to X! meditate to attain peace.) X! X! Then, not long after he comes on board, tempers start flaring up on board X! the ship: Wesley and Geordi start arguing with each other heatedly while X! setting up the conference room and are broken up by Riker. X! Then, after a Mozart recital which Sarek attends X! (and at which Picard actually sees Sarek \f3cry\f1), tempers get worse: Bev X! slaps Wesley for no reason, and Ten-Forward becomes the site of a bar brawl. X! X! Bev and Troi eventually advance a theory: Sarek himself may be the cause, X! due to a very rare malady contracted by aged Vulcans known as Bendai's syndrome, X! in which all emotional control is gradually eroded away. X! Eventually, Data X! confronts Sarek's young aide Sakkath about his odd behavior (checking to see X! how Picard's diplomatic skills are, and so forth), and eventually finds that X! Sarek indeed suffers from the disease, and that Sakkath has been trying to X! help Sarek's control, with limited success. X! This will jeopardize the treaty X! with the Legarans (since Sarek's the only one they'll speak to), but Picard X! is forced to convince Sarek of this anyway, over the objections of both X!

Picard manages to convince Sarek of his ailment (by driving him virtually X! incoherent with rage, which he shouldn't be able to do), but is then struck X! by remorse over what he has done to such a great man. X! Upon Perrin's later suggestion, X! Picard suggests to Sarek that the two of them mind-meld, giving X! Sarek the added control he needs, and letting Picard serve as a temporary well X! for Sarek's emotions. X! Despite the risk, they go through with it, and while Picard/Sarek rages over X! his inability to tell people he loves how much he loves (or loved, X! in the case of the dead) then, Sarek/Picard manages to conclude the treaty. X! Sarek expresses his gratitude to Picard, and says they will each retain X! the best part of the other. X!

The Enterprise is orbiting Betazed, throwing a final party to celebrate the X! successful completion of a trade agreement. X! Attending are many aliens, including Lwaxana Troi and, unfortunately, X! the Ferengi DaiMon Tog and his entourage. X! Tog approaches Lwaxana for two reasons: he thinks her telepathy could prove X! very useful in his business dealings, and he's very attracted to her. X! She recoils in horror, and tells him to go away. X! X! Lwaxana's been trying to encourage Deanna to settle down and have a family, X! but she thinks her family is her friends on the Enterprise. X! But, be that as it may, she and Riker both take some shore leave on Betazed, X! as the Enterprise warps out to examine a nearby nebula. X! This study, by the way, will be Wesley's last mission on board the Enterprise: X! when they return to Betazed, X! he's going to hop a shuttle to take his oral exams for entrance to the Academy. X! As you might expect, Tog shows up and kidnaps Lwaxana, X! who \f2accidentally\f1 joined Deanna and Will on the picnic. X! He takes Deanna and Riker as well. X! X! Most of what follows can be summed up quickly. X! Lwaxana lures Tog into a state of relaxation by...er...stroking his ears, X! among other things. X! Riker uses one of the other crewmember's annoyance at losing to Riker X! in 3-D chess to con his way out of the cell, X! and rigs the warp engines to modulate the subspace static X! into a pattern the Enterprise will recognize.

Then, Lwaxana is accosted by the Ferengi DaiMon Tog, X! who not only would very much like Lwaxana to use her telepathy to help X! Ferengi deals, but is sexually attracted to Lwaxana as well. X! Lwaxana, not surprisingly, is revolted, and orders Tog away. X! X! Riker and Deanna both take shore leave on Betazed (Picard badgered Riker into X! doing so), while the Enterprise conducts a quick, nearby mission studying a X! nebula (which, incidentally, is Wes's last mission\-he's about to leave for X! the Academy to take his oral exams). X! While Riker and Deanna stroll around the fields, X! they run into Lwaxana (with Mr. Homn in attendance, of course)\-and then, X! worse still, all three of them are kidnapped by DaiMon Tog and taken X! on board his ship, the Creighton. X! X! After Riker and the Trois awake in a cell, Tog beams the two women over to him, X! without clothing. X! As Lwaxana pretends to be interested in both of Tog's X! propositions (and Deanna returns to the cell), and keeps him relaxed and X! distracted, in a state of sexual pleasure, Riker tricks the Ferengi first X! officer into letting him out of the cell, but he and Deanna quickly find that to X! send out a communication, they need Tog's security code. X! Unfortunately, when X! Lwaxana tries to get the code out of Tog (ostensibly to fix him a drink), the X! Ferengi doctor catches her, and insists to be allowed to probe her brain to find X! out how her telepathy works, despite the fact that it might kill her. X! X! Meanwhile, the Enterprise leaves the nebula, restoring communications, and X! discover from one of the Betazoid heads of state, Reittan Grax, that Riker and X! the Trois have been kidnapped. X! Unfortunately, they have no idea where the X! Creighton might be, and cannot decode Ferengi transmissions. X! X! Riker taps into the warpfield phase shifter and modulates the static into a X! pattern the Enterprise will recognize. X! Unfortunately, since only Wesley recognizes it, X! he's forced to miss his transport to the Academy to help rescue Riker. X!
