In this episode, the Enterprise must navigate away from a dangerous anomaly in space, and Troi experiences a momentary loss of her powers, thanks to a heavy handed metaphor outside the ship.

Carlos (The Dungeon Rats) and Aram (Godsfall) join the Pats to break down The Final Mission: an episode that gives us radiation mishaps, weird old miners, and the final regular cast appearance of Wesley Crusher

After Riker passes out in a cloud of toxic gas, he awakens in command of the Enterprise 16 years later (OR DOES HE?), then in the clutches of the dreaded Romulans (OR IS HE?)

In Reunion, K'Ehelyr returns with the son that Worf never knew, Picard tries to mediate a struggle for the Klingon throne, and Pat O. mixes up the names of Michael Dorn and Michael Piller.

Pat & Pat break down Legacy, where the Enterprise crew chases a distress signal to Turkana IV, discovers Tasha Yar's long-lost sister, and takes part in underground post-apocalyptic gang warfare.

A static warp bubble traps Dr. Crusher in an alternate reality, while the Enterprise crew struggle to bring her home by reminding her that time, space, and thought are All One Thing.

The Enterprise crew is forced into a delicate situation as a human-born foundling raised in an alien culture comes aboard. Cultural divides are bridged, a young man overcomes childhood trauma, and Picard gets stabbed in the chest (again).

Two young boys on the Enterprise are forced to forgive and forget after a nearly fatal practical joke, while Data gets his brain hijacked and is forced to visit a planet of Brent Spiners.

As the Enterprise gets repaired following its battle with the Borg, Worf reconnects with his parents, Wesley gets a recording from his dad, and Picard travels to France to wrestle his brother in a mud pit.

Pat, Pat, & Chris Geiger finish the thrilling conclusion of The Best of Both Worlds, where Riker proves his ability to command the Enterprise, and Data pulls a Jeff Goldblum on a fearsome alien mothership.
