TNG 19x21 - “THE LIGHT FANTASTIC”
Data is anxious over contacting his former kidnapper Kivas Fajo (TNG “The Most Toys”), but he has no choice if he wants to save his daughter Lal. If Fajo will give Data the blank Exo III body, he will give Fajo what he wants most in return – himself. In Moriarty’s lair, Lal awakes from her fugue. Countess Regina Bartholomew looks after her, unhappy with her husband’s threats to sacrifice a young lady who reminds her so much of their lost daughters. Data appears to give himself up to Fajo, but in fact it is one of the blank Soong-type androids driven by a Breen remote control system (TNG “Full Frontal”). Data and LaForge get away with the blank Exo III body, and take it back to Mudd. While there, Moriarty contacts them again, promising that Lal and Alice are safe – for now. But one body is not enough, he needs four, for him and all his family. Their computer-based artificial lair is failing, and there is not much time left...
VOY 12x21 - “CHARYBDIS”
Farkas strands herself and the Voth captain on the Ark Planet to explain how they were fooled by the Seriareen. Mattings reveals he visited the Confederacy’s abandoned worlds, decided Chakotay was right about them, and discovered clues to the Seriareen homeworld’s location. With Meegan and the other Seriareen onboard, Voyager dives into the depths of the Streams. Navigating the instabilities, they find what really created the Streams – a subspace creature called the Hax. But who is to say the Hax and the Source are not the same? Suddenly Voyager is crippled – Lt Conlon has sabotaged it. Meegan reveals that the last Seriareen is not dead, it actually took over Voyager itself (that is what caused the EMH’s problems). Unable to control the ship, it possessed Lt Conlon instead. With Voyager under her control, Meegan and the others kill their host bodies and possess the Hax instead – now they can travel and conquer as they please...
