The U.S.S. Drake has been missing (could have been Riker’s ship), and the planet Minos is now devoid of all intelligent life… it wasn’t before… hmm.

No to spoil too much, but Picard and Beverly are alone for some time, Geordi is in command, and there is a saucer separation! We get the crazy organ grinder guy from Batman Returns.

I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to.
