Synopsis
Crusher's synthetic T-cell, given to Barclay for Urodelan flu, mutates into an airborne intron virus that de-evolves the crew into earlier life forms. Returning from a torpedo search, Picard and Data make a retrovirus from Ogawa's amniotic fluid while Picard lures off the transformed Worf.
