Stardate 41697.9: The Enterprise receives a distress call from Dr. Paul Manheim's outpost on Vandor IV, where the renowned scientist has been conducting experiments with non-linear time with the disastrous result that interdimensional rifts were created. Manheim's wife, Jenice, turns out to be an old love of Picard's. While Manheim appears to be dying, Picard ponders why he left her in Paris without notice 22 years ago. Using Manheim's directions, Data succeeds in sealing the dimensional breach, although he finds himself in three time continuums at once. Manheim is eventually cured. He leaves together with Jenice to continue his work.
