IFs can be creepy AF. The Enterprise welcomes Ensign Sutter and his daughter Clara on board while we welcome back Shareef Jackson to talk about this kid-centric episode. Checking out a nebula, Clara's imaginary friend she's created to deal with moving around from ship to ship comes to real life. Isabella is played by a fantastic young actor who brings breadth to the role of an alien learning about the rules of being a child on a starship. Guinan's presence is super welcome, as is Shareef's insights into this story that teeters back and forth between light horror and slice-of-life comedy.
