The USS Enterprise is escorting two rival factions called the Anticans and the Selay to a peace conference when an energy life form inhabiting a gas cloud accidentally enters the ship. Worf and Geordi are working in Engineering and interestingly Worf states his reason for being in Engineering is, the Captain wants his junior Officers to learn, learn, learn! The life form enters Worf and travels from host to host ending up in the Captain and he beams himself out into the gas cloud. We get to see Data's interest in Sherlock Holmes for the first time here. They eventually find a way to get him back through a pattern in the energy, Picard, with a puzzled face steps off the transporter, asks what's going on? Troi announces this pattern was formed before the Captain was inhabited! The Enterprise warps off for Pacifica. Trivia fans should know Chief Engineer Singh had the dubious distinction of being the first person to die in this show....
