Stardate 45761.3
The Enterprise hosts a Ceremony of Reconciliation between the Krios and Valt Minor systems in an effort to end their centuries-long war.
When a Ferengi (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Max Gordenchik) tries to steal the Kriosian's peace offering from a cargo bay, the package is damaged, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman inside. The woman, Kamala (Famke Janssen), explains that she is an empathic mesomorph, a rare creature with the ability to sense and serve her mate's every desire. She was to be a gift for the Valtese ambassador, but since her cocoon was broken prematurely, she is open to bonding with any male.
When the Kriosian ambassador is incapacitated, Picard (Patrick Stewart) is asked to take his place in the negotiations. Unfamiliar with Kriosian customs, he enlists Kamala's aid and soon finds himself unable to resist her charms.

Stardate 45832.1
While exploring a rare nebula, a mysterious energy being makes its way on board the Enterprise and materializes in the form of a young girl's imaginary friend. Though the ship experiences strange power fluctuations, Picard (Patrick Stewart) agrees to remain in the nebula to conduct further experiments.
Meanwhile, Clara (Noley Thornton) and her imaginary friend, Isabella (Shay Astar), begin to explore the ship, including sections which are off-limits to children.
When Troi (Marina Sirtis) encourages Clara to forget her imaginary friend and play with real children, the entity becomes enraged and threatens to destroy the Enterprise. As the crew struggles to escape from the nebula, strange energy strands envelope the ship and begin to drain its power. As the danger mounts, Picard comes to a terrifying realization. But is it too late?
