It's impossible to tackle a tough issue like assisted suicide for handicapped people in just one episode, but add in evil research doctors with a cavalier approach to experimental procedures, and it's no sweat! Alexander returns, and guilt his father into not killing himself, assisted by Riker. Also Troi and Worf build a connection, somehow. Dr. Crusher absolutely crushes her medical colleague, while Picard is a monster. But what scenes is the most memorable is the ridiculous looking spinal cord you've ever seen being inserted into Michael Dorn's body double.
