While transporting delegates to a special Federation conference on Pacifica, the U.S.S. Enterprise picks up two representatives from the newly discovered planet of Antede III. Unaccustomed to space flight, the aliens arrive on the ship in a self-induced coma to deal with the trauma of their voyage. En route to the conference, Picard and the crew are taken aback by the unexpected arrival of Mrs. Troi, who also happens to be on her way to the meeting on Pacifica. Upon finding himself the object of Mrs. Troi's passions, Picard turns to Counselor Troi for advice. She explains that her mother is at 'the phase,' a mid-life period when a Betazoid woman's sex drive increases tenfold! Reluctant to reject Mrs. Troi's amorous advances, Picard decides to seek refuge from her in the Holodeck. As a result, she redirects her search for a mate to the other men on the U.S.S. Enterprise. Her 'manhunt' ends on the Bridge when Mrs. Troi eyes Riker and announces to the crew that the two will soon be wed.
