Doctor Beverly Crusher is secretly in romantic love since weeks with Federation ambassador Odan, who is on his way to the Alpha moon which is rebelling against the planet they were colonized from and cause potentially fatal environmental damage to its Beta moon. Crusher ignores her humanoid lover's body has an alien symbiont in his entrails, but Counselor Deanna Troi empathetically senses emotional swings which set her on the trail. Then an unrequested escort vessel from the Beta moon approaches and attacks the Enterprise shuttle which Commander Will Riker was piloting to bring the ambassador to his destination. When Riker brings Odan back to the Enterprise badly wounded, Crusher's diagnose reveals the 'parasite' and she learns his true identity. Odan urgently needs another humanoid host to perform his peace mission, for which task Riker is chosen... Written by KGF Vissers

ST:TNG:97 - "The Host" (Stardate: 44821.3) - this is the 23rd episode of the 4th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This episode introduces the Trill species that we will come to know in Deep Space Nine, with a symbiont in a host humanoid body (though without the tattoos on each side of the body like Lt. Cmdr. Dax). It is with this body that Dr. Crusher falls in love with, in the form of Ambassador Odan, and only when he is injured does she discover the true Odan (the SYMBIONT)! When the host dies though, and the symbiont goes into Riker's body, Crusher faces a dilemma - who is it she truly loves? This will become even more apparent when Odan enters his new Trill host. An intriguing episode indeed.
Trivia note: Nurse Ogawa makes another appearance. And, we see the ship's hair and manicure salon!
