More of those monsters from the Id are in this TNG episode as the Enterprise
picks up Federation Ambassador Charles Lucia for a mediation job on another
planet. Accompanying him on the trip is an aged woman identified as his mother.
But she dies as the trip gets started. She's old and haggard and has a warning to Deanna Troi about getting to close to her son.
Still Lucia is a charming guy and Marina Sirtis is drawn to him. But a very strange thing happens. I'm sure Marina Sirtis must have loved this episode giving her a chance to show a different view of Deanna Troi. First she turns into a raging nymphomaniac and then starts to age.
I can't do better than what another viewer said in that this was a TNG adaption of Dorian Grey with Marina Sirtis serving as a living painting for Lucia's Id type feelings.
Seeing a different Marina Sirtis makes this episode worthwhile viewing.
