It was originally released on February 20 , 1989 in broadcast syndication . Set in the 24th century , the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise . In this episode , the Enterprise must transport a young head of state to the planet she is to lead . Plot ( edit ) The Federation starship Enterprise , under the command of Captain Jean - Luc Picard , is assigned to transport beautiful Salia , the future ruler and dauphin of Daled IV , and her governess Anya from a planet to which she voluntarily exiled herself . Her parents , rulers of two opposing factions on Daled IV , died , and Salia represents a chance to bring unification to the two factions . As such , Anya is overly protective of her . On board , Salia meets young Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher , who instantly becomes smitten with her . Wesley receives courtship advice from the crew members ( including from Worf , who explains that with Klingons it consists of `` the male grunting and growling , followed by the female bellowing and hurling heavy objects , the males read poetry '' ) , and the two form a bond . He introduces her to Thalian chocolate mousse , and takes her to the holodeck to show her several other worlds after she expresses an interest in exploring the galaxy . When Anya , touring the ship , discovers a crew member with a virulent disease being in a containment field in Sickbay , she demands the crew member be killed to protect Salia . Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pulaski refuses and insists the disease is contained , but Anya transforms into a large monstrous form , easily matching Lt. Worf 's strength when he tries to intervene . When Captain Picard arrives , Anya reverts to her petite humanoid form and defiantly explains her actions . Dr. Pulaski identifies Anya as an allasomorph , a shapeshifter , who could present a danger for the crew . Picard orders Anya to be confined to quarters , and Worf , as head of security , promises Anya he will watch over Salia . Picard , aware of Wesley 's attraction to Salia , asks him to stay away from her , to which he agrees . At night however , as Anya is sleeping , Salia slips out of their quarters and visits Wesley , and the two share a kiss . However , they are interrupted when Anya bursts into his quarters and transforms into the same giant beast as before . To Wesley 's horror , Salia also transforms into a similar beast , holding Anya at bay . Both revert to their human forms as security arrives . Later , Salia attempts to apologize to Wesley for her deception , but Wesley , appalled by seeing Salia 's appearance was not the real her , is too upset and refuses to listen . The Enterprise arrives at Daled IV with no further incidents . As Salia prepares to depart , Anya reveals she will not be going with her , instead returning to her home on an orbiting moon . Anya also warns her that she will likely be unable to leave the planet once she has taken the leadership role . Salia thanks Anya for her upbringing before Anya departs . Just before Salia is to be beamed down to the planet , Wesley arrives to say his goodbyes , bringing her one last taste of chocolate mousse . Salia thanks him , and transforms into her natural form , a luminous figure of energy , before she is beamed down to the planet .
