* EasilyForgiven: While it was a freak accident she was very unlikely to for-see, Crusher is still pretty blasé about causing a plague that injured or even killed multiple crew members and traumatised almost all of them. Despite this being one of the darkest episodes in the series and one of the most destructive incidents in the history of the ship, the story ends with characters joking about the whole thing.

* ThermalDissident: Doctor Crusher treats Lieutenant Barclay for Urodelan flu by activating some dormant genes. While this does effectively cure him, Barclay's biology also generates a virus that activates dormant genes in other crew members. Counselor Troi gets infected, and begins mutating into a frog-girl. While she has command of the bridge, Troi routinely bumps up the bridge temperature to tropical levels, to the dismay of Worf.

Worf steps in and resets it to normal, asking Troi to seek a medical evaluation.

He becomes convinced he's suffering from something called "Terellian death syndrome", or possibly "Symbalene blood burn".

** Unless one of Barclay's ancestors married and had kids with an arachnoid alien (which is a stretch even by ''Trek'' standards), there's no way he could have any spider DNA. The common ancestors of humans and spiders diverged about 700 million years ago, before we'd even started evolving legs (for reference, the branch that led to spiders also produced the likes of snails and earthworms).
