An Away Team's search of a barren planet turns tragic when a buried bomb explodes and kills one of the group's archaeologists. Worf (Michael Dorn), the team leader, feels he is to blame for the death.

On board the Enterprise, Picard (Patrick Stewart) breaks the news to the victim's 12-year-old son, Jeremy (Gabriel Damon). As Worf, himself an orphan, lends comfort to Jeremy, Troi (Marina Sirtis) detects an alien presence aboard the ship - Jeremy's mother, seemingly come back to life!

Picard determines that the image of Jeremy's mother is being created by an energy source from the planet's surface, and that the alien power is gaining control of the transporter room. Can Picard protect Jeremy and save the Enterprise?

As Picard (Patrick Stewart) and an Away Team investigate an ancient Promellian battle cruiser, the Enterprise is seized by a mysterious energy drain. Trapped in a holding pattern, the ship is bombarded by increasing doses of radiation.

Searching for clues, Geordi (LeVar Burton) materializes a holodeck version of Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney), a beautiful and brilliant engineering expert. They determined that the Enterprise is being held by centuries-old Aceton assimilators used in the war between the Promellians and the Menthars. The assimilators attracted energy, modify it and convert it to the fatal radiation. Unless Geordi and Leah can free the Enterprise, the crew will die within hours.
