An A comes in the form of Q, who tells a stunned command staff that Amanda is a member of the Q Continuum. Her parents weren't human, but actually Q who decided to live like [[HumansAreUgly disgusting humans]], including the abominably disgusting act of mating. The Continuum was unsure whether this foul act would beget an offspring with Q powers, so they sent Q to oversee her and make sure she doesn't destroy the multiverse with her newfound powers. He wants to take Amanda back to the Continuum for study, but she objects and throws him across the room. Picard suggests that he not do things like walk through a wall and inspect her like a human would inspect a bacteria, then tells Data after he leaves to look into her parent's "accident." Meanwhile, Q's shadow asks him for a progress report. He tells the Q he may have to "terminate the girl," but he may not.

* DieOrFly: How Q opts to test Amanda. He triggers a warp core breach and disables all the safety mechanisms [[FailsafeFailure (not that they ever work anyway)]] while Amanda is touring main engineering. When the core explodes, Amanda instinctively uses her powers to contain the explosion and restore everything to normal. Q later notes that had she failed to do so then it would have confirmed that she was not a Q. Picard is understandably not amused.
