While rushing to aid survivors on an explosion-rocked planet, the Enterprise is confronted by the omnipotent Q entity that tried to thwart the Farpoint mission several months earlier. This time, Q (John de Lancie) demands the crew stop its mission to play a deadly game of his choosing.

The major player in this game is Riker (Jonathan Frakes), to whom Q entrusts his own godlike powers. Q tempts Riker by telling him that if he joins the continuum he will have the chance to realize the crew's most impossible dreams. Now Riker is faced with the most important decision of his life - one that will forever change the course of the Enterprise.

Stardate 41309.5
When several Federation officials are taken hostage by terrorists on Mordan IV, the Enterprise is dispatched to transport Admiral Mark Jameson (Clayton Rohner), a legendary negotiator, to the planet. The crew finds Jameson to be a man of deep and perplexing mysteries. As the voyage progresses, Jameson, terminally ill and in his eighties, inexplicably regains his health and appears to be growing younger.

Then it is learned that forty-five years earlier Jameson had led similar mediations on Mordan IV, igniting a devastating civil war. Now Mordan IV's leader Karnas (Michael Pataki) wants Jameson back...for execution.
