The Enterprise discovers a rift in space that reveals a familiar-looking starship - its predecessor, the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-C, believed to have been destroyed in battle over twenty years ago! The ship's captain (Tricia O'Neil) tells Picard (Patrick Stewart) that the Enterprise-C was under attack from four Romulan Warbirds when it broke through the rift. But Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) is bothered by things she can't explain: why the Federation is presently engaged in a bloody and senseless war with the Klingon Empire, and why she doesn't seem to know her ship's security chief, Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby). Convinced that the space rift has changed the course of history, Guinan pleads with Picard to send the Enterprise-C back through the rift to face its destiny.

But will Picard give such an order, knowing that it will result in the destruction of the Enterprise-C and it's crew?

Stardate 43657.0
Data (Brent Spiner) surprises the Enterprise crew when he reveals his research project - Lal (Hallie Todd), an android he has personally built and programmed. Picard (Patrick Stewart) is concerned about Starfleet's reaction to Lal, but nonetheless permits Data to continue his study.

After choosing the appearance of a human female, Lal is given a job in Ten Forward where she can interact with many different people. But Las's future prospects dim when Starfleet's Admiral Haftel (Nicolas Costner) beams aboard. Haftel wants to transfer Lal to a Federation research station so she can be more closely monitored. Picard argues that Lal should remain with Data, whom Lal regards as her father. But no one recognizes that Lal's android makeup contains one fatal flaw: human emotion, which is slowly destroying her.
