Synopsis
Geordi's experimental interface makes Data's personal programming replace a computer subroutine, so the Wild West holodeck programme's outlaws take Data's face and abilities. Worf and Troi, with the safeguards off, must rescue kidnapped Alexander by facing Frank Hollander in a showdown, then the programme ends.
