Episode propaganda
While a passenger aboard the USS Enterprise, Troi's overly-amorous mother Lwaxana (Majel Barrett) becomes infatuated with Doctor Timicin (David Ogden Stiers) of the planet Kaelon II. The rather reserved Timicin, a leading scientist who has enlisted the federation's aid in saving his planet, is equally smitten with Lwaxana, and the two begin spending time together.Timicin has boarded the starship Enterprise to test an experiment that he hopes will revitalise the dying sun of Kaelon II. The USS Enterprise assists him by transporting him to a similar sun in a remote region of the galaxy where the scientist can test his theories. With the help of the crew, Timicin fires photon torpedoes into the surrogate sun in an effort to elevate and stabilise the temperature. At first, the experiment seems successful, but the sun's temperature continues to rise to dangerous levels, forcing the starship to evacuate the region and return to Kaelon II. Later, when even the charming Lwaxana is unable to comfort the defeated Timicin, he confides to her that he is returning home to die.
