Summary

On her way to a conference, Troi’s mother boards the Enterprise and flirts with Picard.

Our Take

Lwaxana Troi chasing Picard around the ship is a one-joke premise, but the joke mostly lands thanks to Majel Barrett’s total commitment and Patrick Stewart’s increasingly desperate deflections. The Dixon Hill holodeck stuff wears thin before the end. Light, silly, and disposable, but harmless fun if you’re in the mood.
