Trek Overall: Story 141, Episode 143
Airdate: 1 May 1989
Written by Hannah Louise Shearer & Melinda M. Snodgrass

Notes
- The primary guest here was Nikki Cox, who at the time was 10. She’s now 46 as I write this, and became famous for a lot of other things. She was probably most well known for the TV series “Unhappily Ever After” (which ran for 5 seasons and 100 episodes). She also had a bit part in Terminator II: Judgement Day. Her most recent acting credit was in 2009, so she’s likely retired.
- The only episode in Season 2 with location footage (the horse riding scene in the holodeck).
- The first time we see Picard drinking “Tea. Early Grey. Hot.”
