When Lieutenant Kwan commits suicide by jumping into a plasma stream in Nacelle Control, Counselor Troi and Lieutenant Worf begin an investigation into why a seemingly well-adjusted crew member would inexplicably kill himself. Kwan's logs show him to be a happy person, and his girlfriend, Ensign Calloway, tells them that he seemed fine the day he took his own life; only Kwan's supervisor says anything out of the ordinary, remarking that he felt threatened by his presence. Investigating the scene of the incident, Troi is suddenly overwhelmed by a flood of emotions, sensing panic and fear, which Doctor Crusher attributes to an empathic echo left behind by Kwan, a partial empath. Worf seeks Commander Riker's approval to become involved with Troi; later, he and Troi return to Nacelle Control, where Troi suddenly finds herself in an unfinished version of the same room; she sees a terrified woman and a strange, staring man, and then the same woman embracing a different man. When she informs Captain Picard of her experience, he suggests that she saw the room as it was eight years ago, during the <I>Enterprise</I>'s construction - which Lieutenant Kwan worked on. Believing her vision to have been seen through Kwan's eyes, Troi and Worf search through the construction project's personnel files, and identify the staring man as Lieutenant Walter Pierce, currently working in Engineering. But when they question him, Pierce denies working with Kwan at that time; however, Troi senses that Pierce has empathic ability, and is hiding something. She and Worf continue their investigation - and soon uncover a murder aboard the ship…
