Stardate 47254.1 The Enterprise welcomes a delegation of the Cairn, a telepathic species that has no concept of spoken language. Troi's (Marina Sirtis) Betazoid mother, Lwaxana (Majel Barrett), serves as their interpreter and immediately tries to spark a romance between her daughter and Maques (Norman Large), the visiting group's senior diplomat. When Lwaxana begins to behave erratically, Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) runs some tests and orders her to refrain from using her telepathic abilities. Predictably, Lwaxana defies her orders and soon afterward experiences a psychic collapse. Maques tells Troi that he sensed a dark place in Lwaxana's metaconscious mind, and in a desperate attempt to save her, he provides Troi with a telepathic bridge into the darkest reaches of her mother's mind. |

Stardate 47304.2 The Enterprise arrives at Kesprytt III to evaluate a request by the Kes, one of the planet's two quarrelsome societies, for associate membership in the Federation. While transporting to the Kes, Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) mistakenly end up in a Prytt prison cell where they are accused of conspiracy and implanted with strange electronic devices. After managing to escape, they make their way toward the Kes border. But it's slow going because the devices implanted in their necks allow them to read each other's most intimate thoughts. Now as they try to hide their true feelings from one another, the rest of the crew struggles to negotiate their freedom. |
