The Live Long and Podcast crew revisits Season 4, Episode 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Family" (1990), as part of their ongoing rewatch series. While the Enterprise undergoes repairs at Earth, Captain Picard returns home to France to confront his trauma and reconnect with his brother's family. Aboard the ship, Worf's adoptive human parents arrive for a heartfelt, and occasionally awkward, visit, while Dr. Crusher gives Wesley a personal holo‑recording left by his late father shortly after his birth.
