Stardate 45733.6: To Deanna's annoyance Lwaxana is about to get married to a man she never met, and to Worf's annoyance she takes young Alexander to a holoprogram of freethinkers, including a mud bath. In the meantime metallic parasites from a destroyed asteroid are consuming essential components of the ship. In a race against time, Data barely gets the ship back to the creatures' home and beams them away after life support has broken down, leaving him the only crew member conscious. Lwaxana is disappointed about her fiancé Campio who turns out stubborn and boring. When she appears in the traditional Betazoid wedding dress - that is, without any clothes - Campio is horrified and leaves, while she, Deanna, Alexander and even Worf celebrate their victory in the mud bath.
