"The Defector" begins with some Romulan ships chasing one of their shuttles into Federation space. The person on the shuttle calls for help and the Enterprise comes to its aid. However, when the Romulan attackers are driven off, it turns out that the pilot is a Romulan himself! And, he claims to have information about an upcoming Romulan attack. Now considering that the Romulans LOVE deceit and that they love to lure their enemies into attacking first, it's obvious that this might be all part of some elaborate trap. Not surprisingly, Picard and the crew are quite dubious and it's up to them to determine whether to listen to this man named 'Setol' or not.
This is a decent episode--because all the Romulan episodes are good. In addition, the bittersweet ending works quite well. My only reservation is all the stuff about Shakespeare...yuck! Well worth seeing in spite of this.
