Plot
The Enterprise is assigned to transport the future ruler of Daled Four,
with her guardian Anya. Wesley and Salia are immediately attracted to each
other while Troi expresses concern that they may not be what they seem to
be. Anya is a shape-shifter and overly paranoid about Salia's safety.

Goofs
- There is a scene where both of the aliens have changed into monsters.
First the nanny changes to attack Wesley, then the girl changes. There is
a cut, and you see both monsters from a side view. The girl-monster
stands in front of a mirror, but you don't see a mirror image. The
monsters change back to the human forms and you still cannot see the
mirror images. At this time there is a cut again, but you see a similar
view of the room and now you can see the mirror image of the girl in the
mirror. At the time they copied the monsters on the film, they didn't
recognize that there was a mirror in that room.

In-Jokes

Quotes
| Salia: |
"That's a super-conducting magnet, isn't it?" |
| Riker: |
"I don't know if she'll have time for you, Wes. She's destined to rule an entire world." |
| Worf: |
"Do not be fooled by her looks. The body is just a shell." |
| LaForge: |
"I suppose it had to happen. It usually does at about this age." |
| Wesley: |
"What does?" |
| LaForge: |
"Glands, erupting with hormones." |
| Worf: |
"That is how a Klingon lures a mate." |
| Wesley: |
"Are you telling me to yell at Salia?" |
| Worf: |
"No, no, no. Men do not roar. Women roar. Then they hurl heavy objects. And claw at you." |
| Wesley: |
"What does the man do?" |
| Worf: |
"He reads love poetry. He ducks a lot." |
| Wesley: |
"Worf, Iit sounds like it works great for the Klingons, but...I need to try something a little less...dangerous?" |
| Worf: |
"Go to her door, beg like a human." |
| Data: |
"It should be that simple, Wesley. Judging my her appearance, it is likely you and Salia are biologically compatible. Of course, there could be a difference in the histocompatibility complex in the cell membrane, but--" |
| Wesley: |
"Data, I want to meet her, not dissect her." |
| Riker: |
"Now, the first words out of your mouth are the most important. You may want to start with something like this here." [To Guinan] "You are the most beautiful woman in the galaxy." [To Wesley] "But that might not work." |
| Guinan: |
"Yes! Yes, it would." |
| Riker: |
"You don't know how long I've wanted to tell you that." |
| Guinan: |
"But you were afraid." |
| Riker: |
"Yes." |
| Guinan: |
"Of me?" |
| Riker: |
"Of us. Of what we might become." |
| Riker: |
"Or that you might think it was a lie." |
| Guinan: |
"Maybe I do think it's a lie." |
| Riker: |
"Then you think I'm not sincere." |
| Guinan: |
"I din't say that. There's nothing wrong with a lie. It's like knocking at the door." |
| Riker: |
"Then you're inviting me in?" |
| Guinan: |
"I'm not sending you away." |
| Riker: |
"That's more than I expected." |
| Guinan: |
"Is it as much as you hoped?" |
| Riker: |
"To hope is to recognize the possibility. I had only dreams." |
| Guinan: |
"Dreams can be dangerous." |
| Riker: |
"Not these dreams. I dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars, and the universe worships the night." |
| Guinan: |
"Careful! Putting me on a pedestal so high, you might not be able to reach me." |
| Riker: |
"Then I'll learn how to fly. You are the heart of my day, and the soul of my night." |
| Guinan: |
"Now, tell me more about...my eyes?" |
| Anya: |
"I cannot rely on your primitive technology. Kill the patient." |
| Guinan: |
"Just because a girl runs out doesn't mean she doesn't want you to follow." |
| Wesley: |
"A taste to remember me by." |
| Wesley: |
"I'm never going to feel this way about anyone else." |
| Guinan: |
"You're right." |
| Wesley: |
"I didn't expect you to say that." |
| Guinan: |
"Oh, there will be others. But the next time you feel love will be different. Each time is different." |
| Wesley: |
"Knowing that doesn't make it any easier." |
| Guinan: |
"It isn't supposed to." |
