Stardate 42859.2: The Enterprise crew welcomes some fishlike Antedian delegates to a peace summit and, on short notice, Troi’s bothersome mother. Mrs. Troi, now in a phase of increased sexual activity, has come to the Enterprise to “visit” Picard, which meets with disapproval from Counselor Troi and amusement from Riker – while the captain hides in the holodeck generated world of Dixon Hill once more.
