When Worf’s old flame shows up on the D, the tension gets thick. But once she gets his thicc Ds, Klingon honor bullshit insists that they’re married. As several characters navigate being stuck between two different cultures, an old Klingon ship full of Japanese holdouts is about to wake up still believing they’re at war. How do you even begin to bring them into the 24th Century? Well, we don’t know because this episode isn’t really about that.

When Mrs. Troi shows up in the middle of a midlife crisis, her horny attention turns to just about every man on the ship. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc hides in the holodeck while Worf schools Wesley on not judging a fish person by it’s scales. Then they turn out to be assassins? What?

When the Enterprise stumbles upon a forgotten Earth colony whose planet is in danger, the racist Irish stereotypes get turned up to 11.

While Picard and Wesley take the company van to the nearest Starbase to get open heart surgery and retake the Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge, respectively, the Enterprise responds to a distress call from a seemingly unintelligent species called the Pakleds.

When Q drops in for another chaotic visit, the Enterprise finds itself in an encounter with Star Trek: The Next Generation’s new baddies: the Borg. Is it Picard’s stubborn arrogance or distrust of Q preventing him from asking for help? Could Q have taught Picard this lesson without killing 18 UC’s? And just how do Borgs procreate?

Data spends weeks communicating with a young girl on the internet and learns that her planet is destroying itself. Thankful that Chris Hansen isn’t there when they arrive, Data breaks the Prime Directive and probably several Secondary Directives to save his new underage friend. Where is the line when it comes to saving lives? Why is Data more human than everyone else all of a sudden? And why is everyone so quick to perform a memory wipe on an alien child without consent?

When Riker’s Dad shows up after 15 years looking to make amends, father and son must beat the shit out of each other in order to deal with their feelings.
