Synopsis
Wesley Crusher tests for Starfleet Academy on Relva Seven and loses the place to Mordock, while Remmick of the Inspector General's office investigates Picard's ship. Admiral Quinn then reveals it was a check before offering Picard the Academy Commandant post, citing a vague threat to the Federation. Picard declines.
Continuity
- Leads to Conspiracy (S01E25): Admiral Quinn's warning in Coming of Age of a threat from inside or outside the Federation is recalled when the parasite conspiracy is uncovered; Remmick returns as the host.
