Stardate 45376.3: Helena Rozhenko arrives on the Enterprise with Alexander, who has become a problem child, to ask Worf to care about his son himself. When Alexander attends the ship's school he continues to lie and to bullly his classmates. In the meantime the Enterprise crew is preparing for a test of the soliton wave, a new technology that is supposed to replace shipboard warp drive. However, the experiment fails when the test ship gets destroyed and the wave runs out of control and threatens to wipe out everything in its path. When the Enterprise penetrates the wave to stop it, Alexander is in an unshielded lab section from where he is rescued by Worf and Riker. Worf then realizes how much he would miss his son if he were sent away; Alexander remains aboard the Enterprise.
