Notes
  • Data began dreaming in the episode "Birthright, Part I". He states that he has had 111 dreams to date.
  • In Data's dreams, Worf eats a piece of Deanna Troi Cake, which is a Cellular Peptide cake (with mint frosting). Dr. Crusher also appears drinking from a straw sticking out of Commander Riker's head.
  • Data stabbed Troi with the coil brace to kill the "mouth" on her shoulder.
  • Admiral Nakamura has invited Picard to the annual Admiral's Banquet on Starbase 219. Picard has managed to avoid it for the past six years.
  • The crew installed a new warp core obtained from Starbase 84 along with a new plasma conduit, which was infested with interphasic parasites, who attached to the crew to drain their cellular peptides.
  • Data is excited to begin weekly counseling sessions with Troi.
