Gambit, part 1

Believing Picard was killed, Riker investigates and is captured by Baran's mercenaries, who are looting Romulan artefacts. He finds Picard alive, undercover as "Galen", and agrees to play a disgraced officer to win Baran's trust. Riker shuts down the Enterprise's shields, and the mercenaries fire on it.

• Leads to Gambit, part 2 (S07E05): Resolves the cliffhanger: the artefacts Baran's mercenaries loot are Vulcan pieces of the Stone of Gol, a psionic weapon.

Acting Captain's log, stardate 47135.2. Doctor Crusher has positively identified Captain Picard's DNA. There's no doubt now that he's dead.
