Most of the people
on this colony

will remember my grandmother
as a healer.

But her abilities
went beyond that.

She didn't just relieve pain
and fight illness.

She knew that well-being is more
than just a healthy body.

Her remedies
often included words of advice,

as well as medicinal teas.

And often, they were
just as bitter tasting.

I will miss Felisa Howard
very much.

Her healing, her advice,

and most of all,

the inspiration she has provided
me throughout the years.

Rest in peace, Nana.

MAN 1 : Amen.
WOMAN: Amen.

MAN 2: And so now we commit
her body to the ground,

earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,

in sure and certain hope

that her memory will be
kept alive within us all.

MAN 3: Amen.
MAN 4: Amen.

PICARD:
Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
ofthe starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission:
to explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no one
has gone before.

- That was beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.

Deanna,

did you notice a strange man
at the service?

He was in his mid-30s,
with longish hair.

No.

He threw a flower
on Nana's grave.

A camellia.
It was her favorite flower.

She used to keep them
all over the house.

Maybe he was a friend
or one of her patients.

It was a very personal gesture.

And he gave me
a remarkable look.

Well, I guess l should be going
back to the house.

There's some things
I need to do.

It's only a few minutes
from here.

Would you mind coming along?

- I'd love to.
- Thanks.

How long do you plan on staying?

- A few more hours. Why?
- Well, as you know,

Caldos is one of the first
terraforming projects

of the Federation.

Our weather controls
and fusion systems

are nearly a century old.

I wouldn't mind having
a starship engineer

take a look at them.

Perhaps give us
a few upgrades.

Maybe in exchange
for a tour of the colony

and a home-cooked meal?

Well, we are due at Starbase 621
tomorrow morning,

but we could delay
for a few days.

Yes,
I'm sure we could find the time.

- Excellent.
- I would enjoy that tour.

Caldos colony is a most
impressive accomplishment.

I actually feel as if
I'm in the Scottish Highlands.

Well, that was the intent.

The cornerstone
of every building in town

was brought from Edinburgh,
Glasgow, Aberdeen.

The founders
wanted everyone to feel

that they had a piece
of the real thing here.

They didn't want
to just imitate Scotland,

they wanted to re-create it.

Tell me, governor, I'm curious.

You're obviously
not Scotch yourself,

what was it that drew you here?

Something about the culture,

the heritage.

When I was a boy,

my family visited Glamis Castle
in Scotland.

And as I looked out
across the Highlands,

I felt as if I had come home.

Your grandmother
had remarkable green eyes.

Every Howard woman
has had green eyes.

Except for my mother and me.

How well do you remember
your mother?

Very well.
I loved her very much.

I can remember her face
smiling down at me,

and I can remember the sound
of her voice and her scent.

But mostly, I remember Nana,

who raised me
after my mother died.

That's beautiful.

It's a family heirloom.

It's been in the Howard clan
for generations.

It's supposed to symbolize
the enduring Howard spirit.

Wherever they may go,

the shining light to guide them
through their fortune.

Nana always kept it lit.

I remember sitting here
listening to ghost stories

with only the candle burning.

You should take it with you.

I think I will.

I'm going to head back
to the ship.

You don't have to leave.

I just thought
you'd like some time alone.

I'll see you later.

Thanks.

[EXHALES

CRUSHER:
Who's there?

What the hell are you doing?
Get out of my house.

I wouldn't be so high and mighty
with me, Beverly Howard Crusher.

I spent more time here
in the past five years

than you have in the past 20.

How do you know who l am?

I'm Ned Quint.

I took care of your
grandmother's house

and her affairs.
Nana never mentioned you.

Oh, there's lots of things
she didn't talk about.

- Let me get rid of that candle.
- Why?

That candle has brought nothing

but misery and bad luck
to your grandmother.

Look, Mr. Quint, I don't know
what your relationship was

with my grandmother,

but this is my house now
and these are my things.

That candle has been a curse
on your family for generations.

If you have a lick of sense,

you'll listen to me right now
and do away with it.

Now, give it to me.

This is a family heirloom
and I intend to keep it.

Now, would you please
get out of my house. Now.

Howard women,
always the same stubborn fools.

I wash my hands of it now.

You stay on in this house
and you keep that damned candle.

I'll not be responsible
for what happens.

Get out.

The colony's aqueduct system
is functioning normally,

as are the communication relays.

We've been having tremors
the last couple of months.

Could you check
the seismic stabilizers?

Certainly.

You can't imagine what it's like
trying to enjoy afternoon tea

while the earth is shaking.

Governor, did you know
you had a power fluctuation

in your weather control system?

No. Our weather control's
been working perfectly

for the last 22 years.

Well, I can't isolate
the exact source,

but the fluctuation seems to be

originating from one of
the substations

that regulates atmospheric
humidity for the colony.

Is this gonna be a problem?

No, not yet.

But power distribution patterns
are already off by 5 percent.

I suggest we analyze
the planet's weather patterns

to see if they have been
affected.

I am reading
unusually high humidity

across the entire
southern desert region,

and there is increasing
cloud activity

above the northern coastal area,

possibly the formation
of a storm system.

A storm?
It's the middle of summer.

We don't have rain
at this time of year.

Data, let's see if we can
correct this.

I'll check out the colony's
climatic flow array.

I will run a diagnostic
on the thermal regulators.

Don't worry, governor.
We'll keep you dry.

I certainly hope so.

There's a caber toss scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon.

I'd hate to see it spoiled
by an unexpected downpour.

You wouldn't believe
what I've been reading about

in my grandmother's journals.

You know she had a lover?
Do you believe that?

- Nana was 1 00 years old.
- Hmm.

It would seem
that the Howard women

have exceptionally
vigorous libidos.

I certainly hope so.

After all, I hope I can find
a handsome young man in his 30s

when I pass the century mark.

- Thirties?
- Yes.

According to these journals,

his name is Ronin
and he's 34 years old.

They met just after
my great-grandmother's death.

And I think l saw him
at the funeral.

A handsome young man tossed
a camellia onto her grave.

But the strange thing is,

she never mentioned him
in her letters, never once.

And yet, it appears they spent
almost all their time together.

It's as if she led an entire
life that l knew nothing about.

Well,
it looks as if we're going to be

on Caldos for a few days more.

This will be a good opportunity

for you to get your
grandmother's affairs in order.

Thank you.

Thirties.

MAN:
Beverly.

You dreamt you were in bed
with someone?

CRUSHER:
Not exactly.

I was in bed, but there wasn't
another person in my dream.

It was more like a presence.

You said you felt a touch.

A pair of hands.
They were moving across my skin.

- Like a caress?
- Yes.

And there was a voice, a man.

He whispered my name.

It was as if l knew him,
or more like he knew me.

He knew exactly
how l liked to be touched.

It was the most physical dream
I've ever had.

The sensations were very real

and extremely arousing.

Frankly, I'm envious.

I did fall asleep reading
a particularly erotic chapter

in my grandmother's journal.

She wrote very detailed
descriptions

of her experiences with Ronin.

Well, that's bound to cause
a dream or two.

So shall we start going over
the personnel reports?

You know, I think he had a ring
on one of his hands

when he touched my shoulder,
my neck.

I wonder if I'll have
another dream tonight.

I'd read two chapters.

You probably want to be alone.
I'll leave.

No, Ned, it's okay.

Look, I'm sorry we got off
to a bad start yesterday.

I've been reading
my grandmother's journals

and I know how much
you meant to her.

Aye, she was a grand lady.

You'll not see
many more like her.

You have your grandmother's
fire, that's for sure.

Ned,

you're welcome to stay
at the house after I've gone.

I need someone
to take care of the place.

Well, that's very kind of you,
lass.

But l'll never set foot
in that house again.

And I recommend
that you do not either.

Why?

Like l tried
to tell your grandmother,

the house is haunted.

Haunted?

You believe what you want, lass.
Just do not light that candle.

- Why not?
- It'll bring the ghost.

It's his home.

Oh, he's out now,
wandering across the land.

Angry. Angry at being driven out.

That's why he's bringing
the storms.

Ned, the weather system's
control is malfunctioning.

The Enterprise
is trying to repair it.

Oh, sure.

But who do you think
is causing the malfunction?

Oh, I think your imagination is--

Think what you want.

See what you want.
Just do as l say.

Do not light that candle

and do not go into that house,
or before you know it,

they'll be burying another
Howard in this cemetery.

[WlND GUSTING]

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Captain, l am detecting

atmospheric turbulence
over the colony

and large pockets
of electrical activity.

On-screen.

WORF:
It is growing in intensity, sir.

That's one hell
of a thunderstorm.

Bridge to Engineering.

Mr. Data, we're reading
an extremely large storm system

over the Caldos colony.

I thought that
the weather control malfunction

was not severe.

It began as a minor
power fluctuation, sir,

but the effect has spread
throughout the control grid.

It has caused
an unusual concentration

of cumulonimbus activity
above the colony.

Captain, l suggest we set up
a power transfer

between the Enterprise
and the weather substations,

try to give them enough power
to stabilize the storm.

PICARD [OVER COM]:
Make it so.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

[GASPS

Who's there?

Ned? Is that you?

Hello?

[CREAKlNG]

I know somebody's here,
so I suggest you--

[GASPS

All right, now, that's it.

If you don't show yourself right
now, I am calling the Enterprise

and there will be ten security
guards here within 30 seconds.

MAN:
Beverly.

Beverly, l've come back for you.

Who are you?

Don't you remember?

I came to you last night
while you were asleep.

No, that was a dream.

I'm calling the Enterprise.

Now do you remember me?

Yes. What's--?
What's happening to me?

Right now I feel so strange.

I love you, Beverly,

just as l loved
Felisa before you.

Are you Ronin?

Yes.

You saw me at the funeral.

Who are you?

I'm a spirit.

- I don't believe in--
- Ghosts?

Nor did l in the beginning.

I was born in 1 647

in Glasgow on Earth.

You're telling me

that you're an 800-year-old ghost?

l found a home
with Jessel Howard.

She was a pretty lass
with a mane of red hair

and eyes like diamonds.

I loved her very much.

When she died,
I stayed with her daughter,

and her daughter,
and on down through the years,

generation after generation.

And now you're here on Caldos,
200 light years away?

When your family moved out
into the galaxy,

I moved with them.

I don't believe you.

I believe you're the most
beautiful women

I have ever known.

Oh, what's--?
What's happening to me?

We're becoming one, Beverly.

We're going to be together.

I don't understand.

Stop it!

[DISH SHATTERING

[DOOR CHIMES]

CRUSHER:
Come in.

Hi, Bev. l just wanted to see
if you were going

to mok'bara class this morning.

No, I think I'm gonna skip it
today. l'm exhausted.

Did you have another dream
last night?

Not exactly.

Is anything wrong?

Not at all.

Beverly, if I didn't know
any better,

I'd say you were seeing someone.

Deanna.

Now I know
you're seeing someone.

I'm not seeing anybody.

I met someone, that's all.

Well, you obviously
have romantic feelings for him.

Beverly, when are you going to
realize that you can't fool me?

Who is it?

All right.

I met Ronin.

Ronin?

Your grandmother's lover?

He's unlike anyone
I've ever met before.

I know this sounds crazy,

but I have never known anyone
who is so...

- Passionate?
- Exactly.

I can see
why Nana fell in love with him.

This sounds very strange,
doesn't it?

I admit, it's unusual.

[SIGHS

I'm very happy for you.

But l want you
to consider something.

You and Ronin have both
suffered a tremendous loss.

Very often,
shared traumatic experience

can create the illusion
of closeness

and romance.

Well, thank you for your concern.

But l think I know what l'm doing.

Besides, I didn't say
I was in love with him.

I'm just intrigued.

You know, captain,
I moved to this colony

because it was a re-creation
of Scotland,

but I must admit, it's getting
to be a little too realistic.

[SNEEZES]

What the hell is going on?

There appears to be a condensed
suspension of water vapor,

- approximately 1 degree Celsius.
- Fog?

It just sort of rolled in on us, sir.

There has been a malfunction

in the ship's
environmental control.

We've traced the problem
to the power-transfer beam.

There's some sort of feedback

coming from the colony's
weather substations.

Another power fluctuation?

Captain, the temperature
in Ten-Forward

has dropped below freezing,
and Deck 1 3 has lost gravity.

Mr. Data,
disengage the power transfer.

I am unable to terminate
the connection, sir.

A feedback loop
has formed in the transfer beam.

I will have to go
to the substation

and attempt to correct
the problem from there.

Make it so.

In the meantime,
I think I'll go get my jacket.

DATA: l have analyzed
the control module

in the primary
weather-control grid.

It appears the station
is experiencing

a system-wide power failure.

This is impossible.
The backup systems should have--

[BEEPING

DATA:
Excuse me, sir.

You are dismantling
the primary power conduit.

I must ask you to stop.

No.

Get away from me.

You do not understand.
He's trying to kill us all.

Ah!

He is dead.

From what l can tell,

he was trying to shut down the
entire weather control system.

He was pulling out
the primary plasma conduit.

It's probably what caused

the plasma discharge
that killed him.

I knew Ned Quint.
He was an honest man.

He kept mostly to himself.

I don't know why
he'd try something like that.

Well, it's gonna take us some time

to get the system back online.

I'd say we need another day at least.

In the meantime, governor,

you should expect the weather
problems to continue.

CRUSHER: I think you'd better
take a look at this.

Data, you said there was

a plasma discharge
from the console

when Quint was killed.

That is correct.

Well, that wasn't what killed him.

I'm detecting
an anomalous energy residual

throughout his body, right down
to the cellular level.

Whatever it is, it wasn't the
result of a plasma discharge.

Anything?

I cannot identify
the energy residual.

However, it appears to have
the same anaphasic signature

as the power fluctuations
we observed

from the weather control system.

Then it's possible that whatever
caused the weather malfunctions

also killed Quint.

It is possible.

We should scan the colony
for any energy readings

that match
this anaphasic signature.

Governor, with your permission,

I'd like to take the body
back to the ship

- to run further tests.
- Of course, doctor.

Ensign, ask Dr. Salar
to run a bio-spectral analysis.

ENSlGN:
Yes, doctor.

You're not going to
run the test yourself?

No, I have some things
I need to attend to.

Ronin, I've got to talk to you.
Are you here?

RONlN:
I'm here, Beverly.

- Did you miss me?
- Yes.

But l must talk to you.

There's been an accident.

I know. Quint is dead.

Why did it happen?
What was he doing?

Beverly, there's something more
important we should talk about.

Ronin, I've got to know.
Quint's dead.

- Ronin?
- Yes.

- I need you to help me.
- Help you?

It's not easy for me
to take corporeal form.

I can't do it for long.

I want you to light the candle.

Quint said you lived
in the candle. Is that true?

Yes.

If I'm away from it for
too long, I begin to weaken.

That's why the women
in your family

have always kept the candle lit.

The candle's on the ship.
I'll go get it.

No.

- I must go with you.
- How?

The power-transfer beam,
I can travel along it.

And when the candle's lit,
then what happens?

Then we'll be together.

Always.

Computer, secure door.

I lit the candle. Where are you?

Shh.

It's all right. We're together.

We're going to be one.

I'm going to become part of you,
Beverly.

Would you like that?

Oh, yes, more than anything.

As it was with your grandmother,
and your great-grandmother,

and all of the Howard women
before them.

I'll take care of you.

And you will feel love
as you've never felt it before.

Beverly, what the hell is this?

I thought it was
pretty self-explanatory.

I'm leaving Starfleet. Energize.

- Delay that order.
- Aye, sir.

Beverly, you can't just resign.

I can and l have.

I've decided to stay on Caldos

and become a healer
like my grandmother.

It's a proud Howard tradition
and I've decided to uphold it.

Energize.

I've resigned my commission,

so unless you plan
on kidnapping me...

[COMPUTER BEEPING

Beverly was attracted to Ronin

in a very intense
and intimate way.

I warned her
that it was all very sudden,

but she didn't want to talk
about it, so I let her alone.

I sensed that she was
holding something back,

that she wasn't telling me
the whole truth.

Do you think this Ronin
could be exerting

some sort of influence over her?

That it's because of him
that she's staying?

It's possible.

But she may really believe
she's in love with him.

This is a rash decision,
ill-considered.

- It's not like Beverly at all.
- I agree.

But she does have the right
to make that choice,

even if we don't feel
it's a good one.

[DOOR CHIMES]

Come.

Captain, Geordi and I
have detected an energy residual

with the same
anaphasic signature

as the one we found
on Ned Quint's body.

- Where?
- Approximately 1 7 kilometers

from the center of the colony, sir.

It is coming from the cemetery.

Data, I want you to go down
to the cemetery,

see if you can pinpoint
the source.

Aye, sir.

In the meantime,

I would like
to meet with this Ronin.

LA FORGE: The energy readings
are coming from this direction,

but I can't get
an exact location.

I'll try narrowing the scan field.

DATA: The energy readings
appear to be originating

approximately two meters
below the surface.

I believe they are concentrated
within this burial site.

I'm so glad you're here.

I can't imagine what life
was like before I met you.

And it will only get better.

Oh, Ronin.

I had no idea
I could feel this way.

RONlN:
We're nearly merged now.

As two candles join
to form a single light,

so we will flourish as one.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I love you, Beverly.

I love you.

Beverly?

Jean-Luc.

Sorry, l startled you.

I knocked,
but there was no answer.

The door was open.
I hope you don't mind.

What do you want?

Well, I'd hoped
to meet your new friend, Ronin.

He's not here.

Well, perhaps I could wait
if you don't mind.

I'm really anxious to meet
this remarkable young man

who has swept away not just one,
but two of the Howard women.

Jealousy doesn't suit you,
Jean-Luc.

Have you changed
the color of your eyes?

I just grew tired
of the other color.

Don't you think it suits me?

I think that l preferred your
eyes the way they were before.

I think I preferred you the way
you were before, Beverly.

Well, this is the way I am now.

And this is my life.

I've made my decision and I'm
not going to change my mind,

so please leave me alone.

Oh, no,
there's something wrong here.

Now, Beverly, this is more than
just an obsessive love affair

that has got out of hand.

Tell me, why is it that no one
has seen this Ronin except you?

RONlN:
All right, captain. Here l am.

I believe Beverly asked you
to leave her alone.

So you're Ronin.
It's a pleasure to meet you.

Where are you from?

Earth. Scotland.

How long have you been
on Caldos?

All that matters
is that I'm here now.

And that Beverly and I
plan to be together

for the rest of our lives.

[COM BEEPS

DATA [OVER COM]: Data to Picard.
- Go ahead, Data.

Captain, we have located the
source of the energy residual.

It appears to be concentrated
within Felisa Howard's coffin.

LA FORGE: Captain, we'd like
permission to exhume the body.

You can't do that.

Leave her alone.

Why not? What are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid of anything.

But l cannot allow you
to desecrate her grave.

Data, ask Governor Maturin's
permission to exhume the body.

Picard out.

I won't stand for this.

I'll go to the governor myself.

Go on.

I wouldn't be surprised
if he doesn't know who you are.

He'll probably have
the same questions that l do.

How did you get here?
What ship did you come on?

Jean-Luc, leave him alone.

Why don't you answer
my questions? What ship?

I'd like to take a look
at the passenger list.

Where have you been living here?
What's your position?

Who are your neighbors?

Come on, Beverly,
we've gotta get out of here.

Jean-Luc.

RONlN:
Beverly, we must stop the others.

They cannot exhume the body.

We can't just leave him.
He might die.

You must come. I am your love.

I am the one
who will take care of you.

I can't just let him die.

Beverly, come with me.

No. No.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to stop them.

Come on, come on.

I'm all right.
Beverly, go after him.

Go to the cemetery.

La Forge to Enterprise.
We're ready down here.

MAN [OVER COM :
Aye, sir.

I am reading definite signs
of anaphasic energy in her body.

It appears to extend
to the cellular level.

That's impossible.

She was nowhere
near the weather station

when Quint was killed.

She died of natural causes.

I suggest we run a deep-tissue
scan to look for any signs of--

CRUSHER:
No!

Ronin, stop this.

Stop this, please.

Beverly, it's all right.
Have trust in me.

You're not Nana. Nana's dead.

Leave her alone!

Beverly!

Forgive me.

These men were trying to stop us
from being together.

Once they're gone,
everything will be right.

No, it won't.

You've been abusing me
with the same sort

of anaphasic energy
that killed Quint.

He was trying to destroy me.

I had to defend myself.

Oh, my love,

I would never harm you.

I am here to protect you.

No, you're not.

There's no such thing
as a ghost.

You are some sort
of anaphasic life form.

Anaphasic energy
is extremely unstable.

It needs an organic host

in order to maintain
molecular cohesion

or else you'll die,
isn't that right?

- Beverly--
- I also scanned the candle.

The flame is plasma-based.

You were using it
as a receptacle for yourself

in order to get to me,
in order to merge with me.

You have been using me, Nana,

my entire family, for centuries.

And I loved all of them.

And they loved me.

Give me the candle, Beverly.

No, no.

[GROANING

Put it down or l will kill him.

Set it down and walk away.

No!

Crusher to Riker.

Will, close off
all the plasma conduits

at the weather control systems.

- I'll explain later.
RlKER: Understood.

You've nowhere left to go.

Yes,

I do.

Keep away from me.

[SCREAMS]

Beverly, I love you.

Bever--

[SOBBlNG]

PICARD:
Captain's log, supplemental.

Commander La Forge
and Mr. Data have recovered

from their exposure
to the anaphasic energy,

but l'm afraid
Dr. Crusher's recovery

will be of a more
personal nature.

Somehow, he realized

that one of my ancestors
had a biochemistry

that was compatible
with his energy matrix.

I imagine
that he took on human form

and seduced her like he did me.

I was about to be initiated

into a very unusual relationship.

You might call it a family tradition.

But there's a part of me
that's a little sad.

How so?

I reread the entries
in my grandmother's journals.

Whatever else
he might have done,

he made her very happy.
