Storyline

Bringing supplies to a Federation subspace communications relay station near the Klingon border, the Enterprise finds it deserted by shuttle, only a dog remains. There is a residue Crusher guesses to be the remains of Lieutenant Aquiel Uhnari, the dog's owner, whose personal logs reveal to Gordi her childhood paranoia and theory the local Klingon commander made frequent visit to abuse her, while she also feared her male only colleague. When Picard hints at his influence with the Klingon leader since he arbitrated his succession, the planet governor Torak accepts to help himself- and produces Aquiel, alive- or not, and what about the DNA traces Worf found of one single Klingon? Crusher continues the DNA identification with spooky results... Written by KGF Vissers

Trivia

With the O'Briens' departure to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation had lost its only married couple. This episode was intended to show that marriage and serious relationships continued into the 24th Century. In Season 7, Nurse Ogawa and her husband started a family, so the idea was obviously pursued. See more »

Quotes

[Aquiel is upset when La Forge admits that he has read through her personal logs]
Lt. Aquiel Uhnari: I'm sorry. It's...just that I tell my sister things I wouldn't tell anyone else. I guess I was feeling a little...exposed.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: I'd feel the same way.
Lt. Aquiel Uhnari: Especially if I had seen you in that wig!

Hitchcock murder mystery
20 November 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is a well written and original TNG episode. Don't understand why it receives low rating on IMDb but it rings of Hithcock's TV show. A must see episode for Trekkies and Hitchcock fans. The plot is thick and it leaves the viewer guessing right up until the end. The suspense is masterfully shot by the director. It is an all around winner.

Also its nice to see Klingon's written into an episode that isn't about the empire or war.

I think if people look at this episode in that light then it is a justifiable 8 out of 10. It definitely does not deserve the 5.9 it has received so far.
