TNG 19x18 - “WHATEVER REMAINS”

At a greasy-spoon diner on Orion, the short order fry cook is told by his boss that “some guys” were asking after him. Months earlier, after a brief “welcome back” party on Enterprise, Data leaves with the revived Lal without even saying goodbye. He brings her back to Orion and takes over his father Noonien’s old casino empire. Enterprise is recalled to Earth to debrief and discuss Data’s resurrection. While there, LaForge connects with Leah Brahms and they sleep together – leaving LaForge feeling guilty, as he had been dating junior doctor Tamala Harstad.

Kashyk tries Janeway for her actions during Voyager’s first time in the DQ, broadcast throughout the Confederacy. Chakotay wants to rescue her, but Lasren insists she has a plan. Kashyk brings out “witnesses” to Janeway’s crimes, but she reveals they are all being manipulated by The Eight, using data from the shuttle Meegan stole (VOY “Trigger”). Nothing else can explain such an unlikely alien alliance. With the truth out, the various alien ships turn on each other, and another brutal battle ensues. Voyager throws itself between to save Janeway, and when even the Voth cityship retreats, Kashyk surrenders. Once Chakotay boards, he finds Janeway in full control. Meegan swears that all they want is access to the Streams to find their world and go home. Janeway is willing to help, but Cin would rather turn her over to Starfleet and be done. Chakotay assures Cin there is more to gain from learning the truth...
