Stardate 47611.2: Data is on a mission to retrieve radioactive debris from a downed probe on the pre-industrial planet Barkon IV. But he suddenly shows up in a village on the planet, and he appears to have lost his memory. Data befriends Garvin, his daughter Gia and the teacher Talur. But he unwittingly spreads radioactive metal fragments of the probe throughout the village. When more and more of the villagers are showing signs of radiation sickness, they put the blame on the strange looking man. They finally lynch and bury Data, but the Enterprise manages to locate and salvage him. In the meantime, on the Enterprise, Deanna has passed the last exam for her promotion to commander, the subject of which was to be able to condemn one crew member to death in order to save the ship.
