Picard wants to isolate Sarek to protect him from the disturbances, but Troi and Crusher suspect that he may be unintentionally responsible. Their theory is that he may be suffering from Bendii syndrome, a degenerative brain disease which affects aging Vulcans.

* MacGuffin: The main goal for the characters in this episode is for the negotiations between the Federation and the alien race Legarans to succeed. However, the actual negotiations are not shown, and we don't even get to see what the Legarans look like.
