Synopsis
The Enterprise-C emerges from a temporal rift, creating a timeline where the Federation is losing a war with the Klingons and Tasha Yar is alive; Guinan senses the wrongness, and Picard sends the Enterprise-C back to its fate with Tasha aboard.
Continuity
- Follows Skin Of Evil (S01E23): The alternate timeline undoes Tasha's pointless death and gives her a meaningful one.
- Leads to Redemption (S04E26): A Romulan woman with the Duras sisters has Tasha Yar's voice, echoing Tasha's fate in Yesterday's Enterprise.
- Leads to Redemption part 2 (S05E01): Sela says she is Tasha Yar's daughter, sent back on the Enterprise-C in Yesterday's Enterprise, and Guinan confirms it.
