In this TNG story the Enterprise has a guest Admiral Terry O'Quinn who back in
the day was Will Riker's first commanding officer on Ensign Riker's first assignment in StarFleet.
The ship Pegasus on which they served was reported lost with all but seven members of the crew including O'Quinn and Jonathan Frakes. The Pegasus was conducting experiments that Frakes knows about but is under orders not to talk about it. Patrick Stewart is left in the dark.
They do find the abandoned Pegasus in a most dangerous and tragic situation in an asteroid belt. The Romulans are also skulking around to see what StarFleet is up to.
A lot of pressure is on Commander Riker and he bares up well though things get testy with him and Captain Picard.
It's a good episode about mixed loyalties and knowing what is the right thing to do. That perspective can change with age.
