Fortunately, the matter of a Q-human child is put on hold when Q's significant other arrives on the scene. Moments later, several more supernovae are witnessed.Unfortunately, the crew learns this is all related to a schism in the Continuum caused by the suicide of Q in " Death Wish", and the desire by some Q for individual freedoms.
