ST:TNG:129 - "Man Of The People" (Stardate: 46071.6) - this is the 3rd episode of the 6th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
In what I dub the "Dorian Grey" episode, here we see the Enterprise come to the rescue of a ship called Dorian, which was attacked while transporting the Lumerian Ambassador Ramid Ves Alkar to peace talks. When his elderly "mother" dies, Counselor Troi consoles him by performing the "funeral rights".
In the process, Counslor Troi starts becoming very wicked and aging quickly. It turns out his negative emotions are empathically transferred to Troi thereby allowing him to remain serene and calm.
Can the Enterprise find a way to save Troi in another great 6th season episode? Note: Great use of suspense music by Dennis McCarthy. Patti Yasutake makes another appearance as Nurse Alyssa Ogawa.
Trivia: we see Worf's martial arts class again. We also see Troi doing crew evaluation reports with Riker. Also, Troi mentions "Imzadi" again to Riker.
