“Menage a Troy”
The Ferengi Tog kidnaps Lwaxana, Deanna and Will during a vacation on Betazed. Aboard Tog’s ship Lwaxana does her best to please her lovestruck kidnapper, while Deanna and Will manage to send a secret distress call by modulating the Marauder’s warp field. Wesley, although he is supposed to leave for Starfleet Academy, picks up and decodes the signal. Lwaxana can persuade Tog to return Deanna and Will to the Enterprise, but warns him of Picard’s jealousy. Picard scares Tog with his great performance as Lwaxana’s lover who kills his rivals, and Lwaxana is finally released too. summary byEx-Astris-Scientia
Uhm… Lwaxana is repulsive here! Yuck! Somehow I can’t force myself to believe she’s doing it only for the sake of her daughter. The only bright side of this is the last scene with Picard acting jealous. That moment was marvellous!
Okay, I appreciate it was against the convention. This time it wasn’t the Captain or - in case of TNG - Number One, who was soooo brave and saved their collective asses. If only they had saved us the scenes with Mrs Troy seducing the Troll… I mean the Ferengi. Bleh!

Gosh, another episode we can pretty much agree on. Neat.
It really was a nice change of pace IMO - especially since Deanna got to wear something besides her usual outfits.

Oww! Deannna! Have I ever mention she used to be my role model? Well, I must have been 15 or 16 a that time…
