together.
Always.
Computer, secure door.
I lit the candle. Where are you?
It's alright. We're together.
We're going to be one.
I'm going to become part of you.
- Would you like that?
- More than anything.
As it was with your grandmother.
And all of the Howard women
before them. I'll take care of you.
And you will feel love
as you've never felt it before.
Beverly, what the hell is this?
I thought it was self-explanatory.
I'm leaving Starfleet. Energise.
- Belay that order.
- Aye, sir.
Beverly, you can't just resign.
I can, and I have.
I've decided to stay on Caldos
and become a healer.
It's a Howard tradition.
I've decided to uphold it. Energise.
I've resigned my commission, so
unless you plan on kidnapping me...
Beverly was attracted to Ronin
in a very intense and intimate way.
I warned her
that it was all very sudden,
but she didn't want to talk about it.
I sensed that she was holding back,
she wasn't telling the truth.
Do you think this Ronin could be
exerting some influence over her?
That it's because of him?
It's possible, but she may believe
she's in love with him.
This is a rash decision.
It's not like Beverly at all.
I agree, but she has the right
to make that choice,
even if we don't feel
it's a good one.
Come.
Captain, Geordi and I
have detected an energy residual
with the same anaphasic signature
as the one on Ned Quint's body.
Where?
17 kilometres
from the centre of the colony.
It is coming from the cemetery.
I want you to go to the cemetery.
Pinpoint the source.
Aye, sir.
In the meantime, I would like
to meet with this Ronin.
The readings are from this direction,
but I can't get a location.
I'll narrow the scan field.
The readings appear to originate
two metres below the surface.
I believe they are concentrated
within this burial site.
I'm so glad you're here.
I can't imagine what life was like
before I met you.
And it will only get better.
Ronin.
I had no idea I could feel this way.
We're nearly merged now.
As two candles join
to form a single light,
so we will flourish as one.
I love you, Beverly.
I love you.
Beverly?
Jean-Luc.
Sorry I startled you.
I knocked but there was no answer.
- The door was open.
- What do you want?
Well, I'd hoped to meet
your new friend Ronin.
He's not here.
Perhaps I could wait,
if you don't mind.
I'm anxious to meet
this remarkable young man
who has swept away
not one but two of the Howard women.
Jealousy doesn't suit you, Jean-Luc.
Have you changed the colour
of your eyes?
I just grew tired
of the other colour.
Don't you think it suits me?
I think that I preferred your eyes
the way they were before.
I think I preferred you
the way you were before.
Well, this is the way I am now.
And this is my life.
I've made my decision.
I won't change my mind.
- Please leave me alone.
- There's something wrong here.
This is more than a love affair
that has got out of hand.
Tell me, why has no one
seen this Ronin except you?
Alright, Captain. Here I am.
I believe Beverly asked you
to leave her alone.
So, you're Ronin.
A pleasure to meet you.
- Where are you from?
- Earth. Scotland.
How long have you been on Caldos?
All that matters
is that I'm here now,
and that we plan to be together
for the rest of our lives.
- Data to Picard.
- Go ahead.
We have located
the source of the energy.
It is concentrated
within Felisa Howard's coffin.
We'd like to exhume the body.
You can't do that. Leave her alone.
Why not? What are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid of anything.
But I cannot allow you
to desecrate her grave.
Data, ask Governor Maturin's
permission to exhume the body.
- Picard out.
- I won't stand for this.
- I'll go to the Governor myself.
- Go on.
I wouldn't be surprised
if he doesn't know who you are.
He'll have the same questions
that I do. What ship did you come on?
- Jean-Luc, leave him alone.
- Answer me.
What ship? I'd like to look
at the passenger
