ST:TNG:111 - "Hero Worship" (Stardate: 45397.3) - this is the 11th episode of the 5th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

When an Away Team including Data discovers a young boy named Timothy trapped in the wreckage of a research vessel that was reported missing in the Black Cluster, the boy is rescued by Data using his strength. Soon Timothy is intrigued by Data's unemotional state and starts dealing with the loss of his parents by mimicking him, a "hero worship".

At the same time, the Enterprise is bombarded by powerful shock waves from the Cluster. With the danger rising, only Timothy knows what happened and has the answer to save them. Can Data get Timothy to tell him?

Trivia note: Geordi recalls when he was 5 he was in a fire, he was fine because he was eventually rescued by his parents, though there was trauma like Timothy is going through. We see the Entperise school again. And, we see Data painting again.
