As more people start disappearing, Beverly rushes to Engineering to see Wesley. He tells her he's been trying to contact [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E5WhereNoOneHasGoneBefore the Traveler]] in hopes that the mysterious alien can explain what's happening. Beverly wonders if Wesley accidentally altered reality the way the Traveler could and decides to take this idea to Picard, but as soon as she rounds the corner she realizes that Wesley isn't with her anymore.

She reaches the bridge to find that she and Picard are the only two left on the ship, and Picard insists that it has always been just the two of them, oblivious to how illogical that is. Before long, even Picard pops out of existence, leaving her alone. The vortex appears again, and she again narrowly avoids being pulled in, but this time the scene cuts to the other side, where Wesley and Geordi are desperately trying to pull her out of the warp bubble that she and she alone has been trapped in from the start. (Twist!) After they fail to pull her through, the Traveler appears, and tells them that there is still a way to save her. He explains that Beverly is trapped in an existence created by her thoughts at the moment she was caught in the warp bubble, and he says that with Wesley's help he can open another portal to her reality--but only she can make the choice to go through it.

As the warp bubble collapses, Beverly puts together what's been happening. When she was pulled into the bubble she had been worrying about losing the people around her, thus the alternate reality where people disappear. She races to Engineering, just in time to leap through Wesley's portal before the ''Enterprise'' itself is erased. When she emerges, she asks Picard how many people are on board. He tells her 1,014, including Dr. Quaice. She notes with relief that that's exactly the number there should be.

** Used to great effect. When Picard sets the ''Enterprise'' computer to run a biometric scan on himself to assuage Crusher that he won't disappear, he sets it to audio so it will constantly be spouting information about him. Crusher looks down for a moment as she prepares to confess something to him--and then realises, a split second before she looks back up, ''that the computer isn't broadcasting Picard's vital signs any more...''

** Crusher, [[LampshadeHanging acknowledging it's an impossible question]], asks the computer the nature of the universe. It tells her. Precisely. (It would have been more effective if the previous scene hadn't already spoiled the nature of the warp bubble universe.)
