Memorable Moments

One of the most memorable moments in this episode comes when Riker is trying to escape from the hospital where he is kept under heavy guard. Lanel, presumably a nurse, offers to create a distraction, but only if he will make love to her ... because she has "always wanted to make love to an alien".

Quotes

Riker: Now, will you help me?
Nurse Lanel: If you make love to me? [...] I've always wanted to make love to an alien.
