In this TNG story two firsts occur. The Holodeck breaks down for the first time
and we also learn of Captain Picard's taste for 20th century pulp detective
fiction and is favorite was San Francisco based Jason Steel.
But a probe from an alien race they are supposed to be making contact with puts a few things out of whack on The Enterprise including the Holodeck and Patrick Stewart,Gates McFadden, and Brent Spiner are trapped with Holo safeguards released.
Good thing Dr. Crusher was one of the people trapped because of the lifted safeguards. And Data is quite the curiosity to say the least.
That Holodeck isn't well maintained on the Enterprise.
