Epilogue

The entire cast returned to the Enterprise-D, unaware that they were Q's pawns. However, some side effects appeared. For example, Will had the intense sensation to take Deanna, drag her to the nearest wall, and smash her against it. Then kiss her passionately until neither of them could breathe.

After every battle, Jean-Luc felt like pulling Beverly close and giving her a victory kiss. Bev, meanwhile, wanted to act.

Geordi began to use slang in his personal logs. Data pursued the mystery story genre and wrote a Sherlock Holmes mystery program, which he and Geordi found quite entertaining.

Tasha never looked at Data the same way again. Something always made her think of the phrase "sex kitten."

Guinan tried some more recipes for her drinks, including some that produced a state quite like being high.

Worf honored honor even more. In fact, he had to be yelled at just so he would shut up about it.

Wesley began walking onto the bridge like he owned the place. After a few days of that, Picard threw him in the brig. Never again was Wesley such a hotshot.

Finally, Q decided not to bother Picard again until he was asking for it.
