8/10
While this is a rather simple plot, it is a great opportunity to explore Picard's character.

The Enterprise is transporting a diplomat and his 'cargo' to a meeting which is intended to restore amicable relations between two warring planets. However, this cargo comes in a package which is damaged by some nosy and especially annoying Ferengi who are aboard. Inside the package is a woman! She is a genetic anomaly--a women who is perfectly suited to please a man. She is empathic and lives to please her mate and the plan is to give this woman to their former enemy to seal their agreement. But there is a HUGE problem-- the woman is like walking sex! She emits very powerful pheromones and men respond to her like dogs to a pork chop!! So, she eventually needs to be confined to her quarters because her suspended animation container was destroyed. And, the Captain and this incredible woman become very friendly.

This episode gives Patrick Stewart a great opportunity to flesh out his character and seeing the stolid captain struggling so hard to be in control is wonderful--as well as the times he lets down his guard. A very unusual and worthwhile episode.
