The Klingon Civil War continues.
24 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
ST:TNG:101 - "Redemption, Part II" (Stardate: 45020.4) - this is the 1st episode of the 5th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is another cliffhanger episode (which began with the 4th season closer, "Redepemption, Part I".

This episode climaxes the story arc that began in "The Sins Of The Father" , where Worf accepted dis-commendation, being branded a traitor so that the Klingon Empire will not fall in Civil War, and continued in "Reunion".

Now, Gowron has reinstated Worf's honor, and Worf decides to resign from Starfleet so he can help his Klingon brothers in the Civil War, under Gowron's side.

In the meantime, Picard concocts a plan with Starfleet to prevent the Romulans from resupplying the Duras family with weapons, by getting together 20 Starfleet ships and making a net to detect even cloaked Romulan ships. Riker is in command of the Excalibur and Data faces his ultimate test by commanding his own ship (butting heads with Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hobson, his first officer who doesn't believe that an android should command a Starship).

This episode also brings to full circle what happened in "Yesterday's Enterprise" by introducing Commander Sela, the Romulan daughter of Tasha Yar (who went with the Enterprise C back in time and was one of the survivors of a pivotal Romulan attack 24 years before which led to peace with the Federation and the Klingons). Only Guinan is aware of this, which she convinces Picard that Sela is actually Tasha's daughter, however illogical that may sound.

How will the Klingon Civil War end? What will happen to Worf? Who is Commander Sela? And can Data command his own Starship? Find out in this exciting episode.
