The week-long national syndication window opens for the 94th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Jean Simmons guest stars.
Stardate 44769.2: After an apparent sabotage of the Enterprise’s warp drive committed by Klingon exchange officer J’Ddan, Starfleet sends Admiral Nora Satie out of retirement to investigate the possibility of a Klingon faction cooperating with Romulans. But Satie goes beyond that, accusing a shy junior crewman of Romulan collaboration and even accusing Captain Picard of aiding Romulans and the Borg.

Notes: This episode begins a build-up to the season finale dealing with a possible Romulan-Klingon alliance. It was also the last episode of Next Generation to be scored by composer Ron Jones; after years of clashing with some of the producers (most notably Rick Berman), Jones’ services were not engaged again for a Star Trek TV project.
