Stardate 47829.1 Seeking to avenge the death of his son, DaiMon Bok (Lee Arenberg) contacts Picard (Patrick Stewart) and threatens to kill his son, Jason Vigo (Ken Olandt). Picard is unaware he had a son, but admits that he did have a relationship with Vigo's mother 24 years earlier. Since Jason is in danger regardless of his parentage, Picard sets course for Camor IV, where the young man lives. A genetic test verifies that Picard is Jason's father. Now the crew must track down the elusive Bok before he strikes. In a final bitter confrontation, Picard risks everything to save his son - but is he really his son? |
