Quotes
[last lines]
Commander William T. Riker: In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal. I'm not sure you were... prepared for that.
Lt. Commander Data: Were you prepared, sir?
Commander William T. Riker: I don't think anybody ever is.
Lt. Commander Data: Hm... Then it is better not to trust?
Commander William T. Riker: Without trust, there's no friendship, no closeness. None of the emotional bonds that make us who we are.
Lt. Commander Data: And yet you put yourself at risk.
Commander William T. Riker: Every single time.
Lt. Commander Data: Perhaps I am fortunate, sir, to be spared the emotional consequences.
Commander William T. Riker: Perhaps.

Tasha's Sister

This episode takes us to the home planet of the late Tasha Yar. It's the anarchic planet she describes ruled by gangs. Two members of a shuttlecraft crew are crashed there and one of the gangs is holding them.

Another has Beth Toussaint who is Tasha's sister. They offer to help, but they and Toissaint have thie own agenda.

Beth Toussaint does well and she really does convince that she could have been Tasha's sister. She shines in this story.
