Enterprise finds a planet that has had its surface totally obliterated,
But a second sensor sweep discovers a house and some land around in the middle of the total devastation. It also seems there is a retired elderly couple living there.
When Deanna senses who and what one of the couple, Kevin, truly is, her senses are blocked by the placing music from a music box into her mind.
When Captain Picard senses trouble, Kevin tries to lure the Enterprise away by sending the evil Husnock race after them.
However, Picard stays one step ahead of Kevin, and eventually figured who, or what Kevin is. Being discovered, Kevin takes the music form Deanna's mind.
He explains that he is a Dowg, a non-corporeal life form that can shape shift into any form, who had married his wife Rishan when he was in human form.
When the planet was attacked, he had tried to fool the Husnock, since his own prime directive was that he would not kill, but when his wife is killed in the attack, he takes the ultimate action against the Husnock. [hide]
Rishon Uxbridge: Well, what do you think, Mr. Worf? Lieutenant Worf: Good tea. Nice house.
Kevin Uxbridge: [about the reason why he and Rishon may have survived their planet's destruction] I'm a man of special conscience. While the others did what they could, I chose not to fight.
Kevin Uxbridge: She was beginning to sense who I really was. I've lived as a Human for over fifty years, but I couldn't hide from her. She has suffered because of my pride and selfishness. It will not happen again.
Mistakes/Goofs
Goof (revealing mistake): When the Enterprise is leading the alien warship away from the planet at high warp, the view of the starfield from Counselor Troi's quarters is as though they are standing still.
