In "Family" while the Enterprise gets repairs done on Earth, different members of the crew reconnect with the families they have not seen in a long time. Worf's human parents visit the ship much to his Klingon chagrin. Wes receives a recorded message from his father from many years ago. Picard returns to his home village in France where he butts heads with his brother and is offered a prestigious role on a new research project on Earth. He also continues to deal with the emotional impact of what the Borg did to him.
After such an action packed pair of episodes I guess the writers wanted to sit back and relax a bit for an episode. The most action we get here is Picard and his brother mud-wrestling. But I thought his storyline was quite good, if not a bit disjointed. I've never cared for Wes and his daddy issues and this didn't change that. Big fan of Worf's overbearing parents though. They're quite the hoot. Pretty average episode that might get some flack because it's directly after the two part masterpiece but not every episode can be a classic.
