When the <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I> hosts an archaeology symposium, Captain Picard is reunited with Vash, the attractive archaeologist that he met while on vacation on Risa. The two of them rekindle their romance, but Vash is soon disappointed to learn that Picard has never mentioned her to his friends, while he becomes outraged on discovering that she plans a secret excursion to a world closed to outsiders. A blazing row breaks out between them, but they are unaware that their argument has been witnessed by Q, the omnipotent and mischievous being from the Q-Continuum. After Vash storms out Q confronts Picard and attempts to make him profess his love for Vash; Picard stoically refuses, and so Q promptly transforms him into Robin Hood and then transports him to Sherwood Forest in Ye Olde Merrie England. Picard is quickly joined by his senior crew, who have now become his band of Merry Men - something Lieutenant Worf protests to vehemently. Q, now the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, informs Picard that Vash - now Maid Marian - has been captured and is being held in Nottingham castle; Q challenges the captain to risk his life and the lives of his crew to rescue the woman he claims he does not care about - otherwise she will be beheaded the next morning...
