History Recap / StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E16GalaxysChild

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Leah finds her holographic self from "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E6BoobyTrap Booby Trap]]," who repeats that episode's closing lines, [[AccidentalInnuendo "Every time you look at this engine, you're looking at me. Every time you touch it, it's me."]] She feels understandably violated, and at that point, nothing La Forge could say would convince her that he didn't do more than collaborate with her holo-self.

* OhCrap: Geordi has two in succession, the first when he finds that his crewmember has showed Dr. Brahms the holo-simulation, and the second when he finds Dr. Brahms already there. His feet momentarily break the other way upon this discovery as if they almost want to say ScrewThisImOuttaHere.

* LovingAShadow: Deconstructed.

Geordi is delighted to welcome Dr. Leah Brahms aboard the ''Enterprise''. She is less enthused. There's nothing creepy about beaming onto a strange starship and finding out the chief Engineer knows Every Single Thing About You, right? Sure there isn't. Brahms thinks Geordi is a crazed stalker and is understandably less than charmed. She is also married. Then she finds his Holodeck Brahms program - ouch. Meanwhile, the Enterprise inadvertently destroys a space creature and helps to deliver its newborn child with unexpected results.

!!Tropes featured in "Galaxy's Child":
* AesopAmnesia: In "Booby Trap", Geordi learned [[YouWereTryingTooHard he was trying too hard]] in his (initially) unsuccessful relationship with Christy Henshaw. In this episode, he slips back into trying too hard, going into intricate detail preparing his dinner date with Leah.

* HappilyMarried: Leah reveals she's this.

* LetsJustBeFriends: [[spoiler: Eventual resolution of the Geordi/Brahms plot.]]

* TheMissusAndTheEx: Geordi has a truly unique case of this, both the Missus and the Ex are the same person; one his holofantasy and the other the real woman.

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Leah finds her holographic self from "Booby Trap", who repeats that episode's closing lines [[AccidentalInnuendo "Every time you look at this engine, you're looking at me. Every time you touch it, it's me."]]
* PhlebotinumAnalogy: The TropeCodifier: "Souring the milk".

-->'''Guinan:''' You had a perfectly wonderful, marvelous little fantasy... until the real Leah showed up and ruined it. Now, she's probably done the most horrific thing one person can do to another--not live up to your expectations. So I'd take a good, long, hard look, La Forge. See her for who she is, not for what you want her to be.

-->'''Leah''': I thought you knew. I mean, you seem to know everything else about me. But Commander, if I'm hearing what I ''think'' I'm hearing, then you should know that... I'm married.

-->'''Geordi''': The look on your face -
-->'''Leah''': You should have seen the look on yours when you saw me, and me!

-->'''Guinan:''' Here you had this perfectly wonderful fantasy... and now the real Leah comes along and ruins it. She's done the most heartless, despicable thing one person can do to another -- she didn't live up to your expectations. Take a hard look through your VISOR, La Forge... see her for who she really is... not what you want her to be.
