September 21, 2026 · 1 h 11 min

Show notes

When the Entrepreneur’s mission is to study an exploding star, a distress signal from a nearby freighter leads to an emergency beam out. But after learning that the Brekkians are dealing drugs to the Ornarans, Dr. Crusher’s Hippocratic Oath comes up against Starfleet’s Prime Directive. How are electrocutions on the bridge like Clear and Present Danger? What are the names of the other two Ornaran ships? Why does no one want to play poker with Picard until the finale? It’s the episode that wants to elevate the elevator experience.
