Star Trek: The Next Generation 2.20

The Emissary

The Enterprise is sent to intercept the T'Ong, a Klingon vessel whose crew is expected to come out of deep sleep within a matter of days. The crew of the T'Ong went to sleep while the Klingon Empire was still at war with the Federation. A special emissary is sent to help the crew of the Enterprise deal with the situation. Her name is K'Ehleyr. She is half human and half Klingon. She and Worf have a history and he is not happy to see her again.

Captain Picard assigns Worf to work with K'Ehleyr. He objects to the assignment but quickly rescinds his objection after it becomes clear that his objection to working with her is purely personal. Worf works with K'Ehleyr but they fail to agree on the best course of action. She returns to her quarters and, frustrated with how things are going with Worf, smashes a glass top table. Counselor Troi recommends a workout in the Holodeck.
