The discovery of Data's
head, old, dusty and dead, among the ruins of some
19th-century artifacts in San Francisco has led the crew
on a wild-goose chase through time. In the 24th century,
they have found a race on the planet Devidia II who can
travel through time and assume human form on Earth.
Meanwhile, Data has become trapped in 19th century San
Francisco with a 19th century Guinan and a very curious
Samuel Clemens.
Hoping to save Data's life, Picard, Riker, Beverly, Troi
and Geordi transport to 19th-century San Francisco to
find him. In a local morgue, Riker and Beverly realize
that the aliens from Devidia II, disguised as humans,
are slowly killing off the population by stealing their
neural energy and sending it to the 24th century to feed
their own people. Meanwhile, Samuel Clemens is following
Data and Guinan, believing that they have somehow come
from the future with a plan to destroy Earth.
At a local infirmary,
the Away Team, in 19th-century garb, discover the two
aliens from Devidia II, who have disguised themselves as
a doctor and a nurse in order to steal neural energy
from cholera patients. Beverly is able to snatch the
"doctor's" cane, which is actually the device he uses to
manipulate time. After a fracas, the entire group runs
out just as Data arrives in a horse-drawn carriage to
whisk them away to safety.
The group concludes
that the cavern where Data's head was found somehow acts
as a focusing device that enables the aliens to travel
back and forth through time. Together with Guinan, they
go back to the cavern, followed by Clemens, who has
learned of their plan. After Clemens enters, the aliens
themselves arrive, snatching back the cane and
activating the process that allows them to time-travel.
A sonic boom throws Guinan against a wall and separates
Data's head from his body, which disappears into a hole
of white light. The alien nurse is wounded, but the
alien doctor dives into the hole, followed by Riker,
Geordi, Troi, Beverly and Clemens. Picard stays behind
with the injured Guinan, trapped in the 19th century.
The rest of the group,
including Clemens and Data's body, lands on Devidia II
in the 24th century, and safely transports back to the
Enterprise. Troi tries to convince Clemens that
mankind's future is assured, while Geordi works to
successfully attach Data's 19th century head to his
body. The crew is ready to destroy the alien habitat on
Devidia II, but must rescue Picard from the cavern
before they lose the ability to move through time. The
author transports down and alerts Picard, who bids the
19th-century Guinan farewell and escapes just as the
Enterprise's photon torpedoes destroy the alien planet.

| Characters on the Enterprise
frequently access hidden ship's mechanisms by removing "Mees
Panels" from the walls. This is two-pronged inside joke:
Jim Mees was TNG's set decorator, and "Mees Panels" are
a reference both to him and to the original series'
"Jefferies Tubes", named for original prop master Matt
Jefferies. |
