    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Majel Barrett's last appearance on TNG as Lwaxana Troi. She would make three further appearances in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993), and still continue to do the voice of the Enterprise computer.
    • Goofs
      Picard says that Lwaxana Troi's journal entries were deleted almost 30 years ago. However, the stardate 30620.1, on which the journal was started, suggests rather that this happened less than 17 years ago.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Lwaxana Troi: [looking at picture of Ian, Kestra, and Deanna; sadly] I remember the day I took this.

      Counselor Deanna Troi: Mr. Homn said he saved it, in case someday you wanted to remember her.

      Lwaxana Troi: [sighs; referring to Kestra] I wish you could have known her, Deanna. I wish you two could've grown up together.

      Counselor Deanna Troi: Tell me about her. I want to know everything.

      [they hug]

    A page from Lwaxana's past.
    ST:TNG:159 - "Dark Page" (Stardate: 47254.1) - this is the 7th episode of the 7th and last season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    This episode deals Lwaxana Troi coming onboard the Enterprise to act as interpretor to a new telepathic species, the Cairn, who has no concept of a spoken language. However, one of the delegate's little girl, Hedril (played by a very young Kirsten Dunst) makes Lwaxana very sad. Soon, she falls unconscious, having retreated into her mind. Troi tries to go into her mother's mind to find out what's happening - it has to do with her past and it all has everything to do with Hedril.

    Definitely the saddest of the Lwaxana episodes, where she is usually very comedic, but it's nice to see this side of Lwaxana.

    Trivia note: Worf mentions he does not like telepaths. We see the arboretum again too. We see Troi's father too. Data also refers to his dream analysis (from "Birthright" and "Phantasms"). Mr. Homn is also mentioned (though doesn't appear in this episode).
