Lieutenant Geordi LaForge eagerly awaits the arrival of eminent engineering specialist Doctor Leah Brahms aboard the <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I>. Having designed the ship’s engines, Leah is the woman of his dreams, but when she finally beams aboard the vessel, Geordi is disappointed to find her cold, humourless, and critical of the adjustments he has made to the <I>Enterprise</I>’s engines. Meanwhile, Captain Picard and his crew encounter a large, mysterious creature floating through space. But as the ship moves in for a closer look, the life form latches onto the hull and begins emitting deadly radiation; forced to defend his ship, Picard gives the order to open fire, looking on with regret as the creature is killed. However, Lieutenant Commander Data then detects another energy reading within the creature’s corpse - there is a ‘baby’ inside, struggling desperately to escape from its dead mother's womb. Geordi’s attempts to win Leah over fail dismally, and his disappointment increases when he learns that she is married. Back on the bridge, Doctor Beverly Crusher and Lieutenant Worf perform a Caesarean section on the dead alien using the ship’s phasers; the operation is a success - until the baby, now believing that the <I>Enterprise</I> is its mother, latches onto the hull and refuses to let go…
