Investigating the wreckage of an escape pod, the crew of the <I>U.S.S. Enterprise</I> discovers a severely injured humanoid man. In order to stabilise his condition, Lieutenant LaForge volunteers to connect his nervous system to the wounded man, dubbed ‘John Doe' by Doctor Beverley Crusher; however, during the process, a wave of energy transfers from 'John' into LaForge. 'John' makes an amazing recovery, his damaged tissue repairing itself at a remarkable rate, while his undamaged cells mutate in a manner that the doctor cannot comprehend. Although 'John's' pod shows signs of being in a battle, the man is unable to recall anything from his past; then, when Captain Picard informs him that they may be able to determine the coordinates of his planet of origin, 'John' becomes afraid, somehow aware that he was attempting to escape from there. ‘John's’ presence aboard the <I>Enterprise</I> quickly brings a sense of serenity to the crew, and when he heals O'Brien's dislocated shoulder with a just touch the captain and crew become even more mystified. However, ‘John’ soon experiences bouts of severe pain, which frighten him into attempting to steal a shuttlecraft; but when Lieutenant Worf tries to stop him, the man convulses in pain and transforms into an intense flare of light, knocking the Klingon to the deck below and killing him…
