Lt. Cmdr. Data (Brent Spiner) loses control while observing the peaceful Ba’ku people on their homeworld, revealing the presence of the joint Federation and Son’a taskforce to the Ba’ku. Admiral Matthew Dougherty (Anthony Zerbe) requests the help of the USS Enterprise-E to help them capture and repair Data. Though they are able to do so, Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) becomes suspicious of Dougherty’s insistence that the Enterprise is no longer needed, and instead has his crew investigate the cause for Data’s malfunction. They come to find that the Ba’ku are well aware of technology but have opted to reject it, instead living in harmony with nature, and they also later reveal they are much older than they appear. Picard asks Anij, the unofficial Ba’ku leader, “You have warp capability?” to which she replies mildly, “Capability, yes…but where can warp drive take us, except away from here?”
The Enterprise crew also begins to experience the rejuvenation effects of the planet; LaForge (Levar Burton) finds his eyes can see instead of requiring Optical Implants, Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Troi (Marina Sirtis) rekindle their long-abandoned relationship, and even Picard experiences romantic feelings for the Ba’ku woman Anij (Donna Murphy).
The crew discovers that the Briar Patch, the area of space that the Ba’ku homeworld is located, contains metaphasic radiation particles, more concentrated in the planet’s rings, which impart the rejuvenation effects to those exposed to them but also block communications to the rest of space. They also discover a cloaked Federation ship that contains a gigantic holodeck recreating the Ba’ku village; Data’s malfunction was apparently caused by his previous discovery of this ship. Picard surmises that corrupt Federation officers and the Son’a are attempting to collect the metaphasic particles with a large harvester. This would leave the planet uninhabitable, and Dougherty, who would not allow for the destruction of the Ba’ku, prepared the “holoship” to transport the Ba’ku off the planet without their knowledge. When confronted with these charges against the Prime Directive, Dougherty orders the Enterprise to leave. Read more.
