The Federation is interested in Dr. Apgar’s new Krieger wave energy, but his station explodes and Riker is accused of murder.

Can Data, Geordi, and Wesley figure out the truth a clear Riker’s name? Well, of course they can. This episode is considered by many to be the worst of season three, but I don’t think it’s that bad.

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