We’re off looking a some solar flares, but that’s just so some handy things don’t work. The real story is with the Brekkians and the Ornarans… they’re symbiotic… kind of.

The is the last full episode for Denise Crosby as Lt. Tasha Yar and we get some Wrath of Khan special guests. Picard has some serious decisions to make regarding the Prime Directive. And, oh yeah… drugs are bad, mmmkay?

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