27.  Where Silence Has Lease -- En route to the Morgana System, the Enterprise suddenly finds itself inside a black void without form or dimension -a void that is unending and inescapable, no matter which direction the ship turns (it is not space).

28.  Elementary Dear Data -- La Forge persuades Sherlock Homes fan Data to use the extra time playing the role of the detective on the holodeck, with the engineer as Watson.

After Graves dies Data begins to act irrationally.

But Maddoz gets a ruling that the android is Starfleet property. Picard challenges the ruling and a trial follows.

When log tapes from the Yamato reveal that its captain had tracked the mythical planet Iconia to this location.

But soon the Enterprise finds itself also plagued by computer malfunctions.

37.  The Royale -- Puzzled by the recovery of a chunk of a twenty-first-century Earth spacecraft, Worf, Data and Riker beam down into the middle of the lone structure they find on the nearest uninhabited planet.

That strategist turns out to be his father, Kule, whom Riker hasn't seen in fifteen years. Time has not softened the first officer's hostility toward the older man, and he summarily rejects his father's efforts at reconciliation. For some reason Worf seems to be growing unnaturally tense.
