Data gets a not-so-secret admirer in the form a little kid saved from a Federation research ship in the middle of a dark cluster. Timothy loves that android life so much that he pretends to be a poseur positronic lifeform to cope with his parents' death and everybody else on the ship. He says it was attacked but then things get weird. Thankfully Troi gets to do more counseling and the kid actor, Joshua Harris, is pretty badass playing off Brent Spiner in this episode directed by Patrick Stewart.
