The week-long national syndication window opens for the 169th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Stardate 47622.1: A young officer recently posted to the Enterprise commits suicide by leaping into an energy stream in one of the ship’s warp nacelles. Trying to find out why, Troi begins investigating the last days of the deceased by speaking to his friends and co-workers, and eventually winds up surveying the warp nacelle post, where she experiences an inexplicable emotional upheaval which may be an echo left by the partially empathic officer’s final burst of feelings and thoughts. She tries to probe this psionic artifact for its true meaning, and uncovers a betrayal which is older than anyone realizes.
