ST:TNG:115 - "Power Play" (Stardate: 45571.2) - this is the 15th episode of the 5th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
When an Away Team consisting of Riker, Troi, Data, and soon Chief O'Brien to look for the survivors of the Essex (a Federation ship that disappeared 200 years ago), the latter 3 are taken over by energy beings. Once onboard the Enterprise, they commandeer Ten Forward with an agenda of their own.
I have to admit, of all the TNG episodes, I place this one close to my heart. It's a great action-oriented episode, with great phaser play in the Ten Forward scene.
Trivia note: Rosalind Chao makes another appearance as Keiko O'Brien, with daughter Molly. Also, Michelle Forbes also makes another appearance as Ensign Ro Laren.
