The Enterprise is unwittingly used to present a unique gift to an alien race: a beautiful empath whose sole purpose is to please her mate. Problems arise when, coming out of stasis early in the voyage, she imprints herself in many ways on a particular Enterprise crewman. Written by Moviedude1
She really is the perfect mate, able to sense a man's feelings and mold herself uniquely to him. But she's also been bred for the sole function as a gift in a treaty ceremony. Naturally, questions of bondage crop up, not to mention attracting every man she comes in contact with . To makes this work, you need an actress of magnetic attraction (the alluring Famke Janssen, check)
. . . as well as that Starfleet office who's duty-bound to resist her appeal. This is a Picard episode if ever there was one, and it's a great character study that focuses on the man and not the Prime Directive-citing Captain we're used to. Their scenes together are amusing and warm, heartfelt and melancholic. The guy's restraint is a testament to his oath of diplomacy.
8/10
