STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION: AQUIEL (TV)
Summary
One in this series of science fiction programs about the voyages of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the 24th century. This sequel to the original "Star Trek" series is set approximately 85 years after the journeys of the first Enterprise crew. In this episode, Lt. Cmdr. La Forge is dangerously attracted to a Starfleet lieutenant named Aquiel (Renee Jones), who could be responsible for the murder of her commanding officer. Arriving at a communications relay station near the Klingon border, the Enterprise crew is dismayed to discover that the station is empty, except for a dog and some bizarre cellular residue that appear to be human remains. While the doctor examines the residue, La Forge studies the personal computer records of Aquiel, whom he believes is dead; in his attempts to determine what happened on the station, he finds himself strangely attracted to her image. When Capt. Picard accuses the Klingons of attacking the station, the Klingons bring forward two suspects: Aquiel, who is alive and unsure of what actually happened on the station, and Commander Morag. As La Forge grows increasingly attracted to Aquiel, the evidence against her mounts, and La Forge becomes determined to help her. Meanwhile, Dr. Crusher begins to suspect that another being could be responsible for the murder of Aquiel's commanding officer -- a being that may have taken control of either Aquiel or Morag. No commercials.
