Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Enterprise finds a small, disabled ship drifting in space and discovers it contains a human corpse. More questions arise when the Suliban and Tholians each claim the craft. Both alien species attack the Enterprise and later each other to seize the derelict.
Our Take
A solid mystery hour built around a fun premise that pokes at the franchise’s own timeline. The standoffs with the Suliban and Tholians keep the tension up, and the Tholians finally getting screen time after decades is a nice touch. It never quite pays off the mystery it teases, but the ride is brisk enough that it doesn’t matter much. Worth a watch.
