While orbiting the planet Bre'el Four to investigate the potential dangers of a descending asteroidal moon, the Enterprise receives an unexpected visit from an old nemesis, the mischievous and omnipotent Q (John de Lancie). When Picard (Patrick Stewart) accuses Q of altering the moon's orbit, Q claims innocence, asserting that he has been castout of the Continuum and stripped of all his powers.

Picard assigns Data (Brent Spiner) to keep an eye on Q while the crew struggles to correct the moon's orbit. Danger suddenly appears as a gas-like form permeates the ship and begins to attack Q. Is Q hiding a secret that could spell destruction for Bre'el Four and the crew of the Enterprise?

Stardate 43610.4
Following a visit to the Tangua Four science station, Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) beams aboard the Enterprise moments before an explosion kills Dr. Apgar (Mark Margolis), the director of the research facility. A short time later, the Enterprise crew is stunned when Tanugan Chief Investigator Krag (Craig Richard Nelson) arrives to take Riker into custody. The charge: murder.

Refusing to release Riker without sufficient evidence, Picard (Patrick Stewart) proposes a trial. In order to recreate the events leading up to the explosion, the holodeck is programmed with entries from Apgars journal and the testimonies of Riker, Apgar's wife Manua (Gina Hecht), and Apgar's assistant. Contrary to Riker's story, the other accounts assert that the commander threatened Apgar and tried to seduce Manua. Unless the crew can uncover new evidence, Riker will be transported from the Enterprise - for the very last time.
