The Enterprise travels to Betazed for a reception following a trade agreement. While there Deanna visits her mother and gets into an argument about settling down and raising a family. Meanwhile, Daimon Tog, of the Ferengi, takes a liking to Lwaxana both sexually and because her telepathy will help him in making deals. Lwaxana is repulsed by his offers and orders him away. Tog, not to be dismissed so easily, kidnaps Lwaxana (along with Riker and Deanna) and takes them aboard his ship where he hopes to convince Lwaxana to marry him.
