With tensions between the Federation and the Cardassians on the rise, Picard (Patrick Stewart) is relieved of command and sent on a covert mission into Cardassian space.

Meanwhile, Captain Jellico (Ronny Cox) assumes command of the Enterprise and, much to the dismay of the crew, begins implementing changes in preparation for a full scale war. The Cardassians are rumored to be developing matagenic weapons on Celtris III, and Picard and his team must locate these weapons and destroy them at any cost.

After arriving on the forbidden planet, the assault team enters a cavern, realizing too late, that it's a trap. Picard is captured an taken to the ruthless Gul Madred (David Warner) for interrogation. Part one of two.

Conclusion. The Cardassians ruthlessly interrogate Picard (Patrick Stewart) in hopes of learning Federation strategy in case of an attack. Back on the Enterprise, Gul Lernec (John Durbin) informs Captain Jellico (Ronny Cox) and the crew that Picard is being held hostage. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) wants to attempt a rescue, but Jellico refuses and the two clash. Ultimately, Riker is relieved of duty.

Fearing a Cardassian invasion, Jellico then orders the Enterprise to Minos Korva to intercept the attacking forces and launch a first strike. As Picard fights for his life in the interrogation chamber, the Enterprise lays mines throughout the sector giving the Federation the upper hand in the battle. But can they save Picard?
