Journey's End

Wesley returns from the Academy troubled and resigns after a vision of his father; the Federation hands the colony world Dorvan V to Cardassia, its colonists choose to stay under Cardassian rule, and the Traveler reveals himself and offers to guide Wesley.

• Follows Where No One Has Gone Before (S01E06): The Traveler returns as Lakanta and offers to guide Wesley, who stays on Dorvan V to study.
• Leads to Preemptive Strike (S07E24): Related rather than explicit: both turn on the border treaty that leaves Federation colonists in Cardassian territory.
