Synopsis: 2 weeks ago, the Eleos visited Sarina Prime planet. Eleos claims to represent the Mariposa medical organization, and provides emergency medical supplies to worlds in need. The Eleos is not registered with Starfleet and often operates outside of Federation protocols. The ship is intercepted by the Fenris Rangers, who report Jack's appearance to the "Marked Woman".The large ship destroys Picard's shuttle and shuts off any chance of escape. The large ship is unidentifiable. Picard stops the large ship, the Shrike, from transporting Jack off the Eleos by initiating transport inhibitors. But then the Shrike captures the Eleos itself with a tractor beam. Jack says that in the last 2 weeks, they have been intercepted by Fenris Rangers, then Klingons, then Starfleet officers. They have been running for months. Jack asks Picard to ask the Titan to intervene.The Shrike is just outside Federation space, along with the Eleos, and Shaw doesn't want to intervene if he doesn't have to. Seven persuades Shaw to intervene. Just as the situations gets desperate on the Eleos, power was about to fail and hull breaches are imminent, the Titan comes between the 2 ships and the tractor beam is broken. Picard destroys the transport inhibitors, Beverly is transported to the Titan's medical bay while Picard, Riker, and Jack are brought to the bridge.The Shrike's captain, a bounty hunter named Vadic (Amanda Plummer), reveals that Jack is an intergalactic criminal with a large bounty on his head. Vadic knows the official profiles of all officers on deck of the Titan. The Shrike is heavily armed and will blast the Titan apart in the event of a conflict. Vadic gives one hour to hand over Jack Crusher. Vadic then "picks" the Eleos with its tractor beams and hurls it at the Titan. Vadic threw a ship at the Titan to demonstrate the power of the Shrike. The ship tears through the shields of the Titan and shears the hull on deck 11. Shaw finds that Vadic's claims on Jack are true. He has Jack arrested and intends to turn him over to save the crew, despite the protests of Picard and Riker. Shaw also removes Seven from her post, for insubordination.Jack tells Picard that he is only trying to carrying on humanitarian work by supplying medicines all over the Galaxy, where needed. Jack escapes from custody and attempts to transport himself over to the Shrike in an effort to save his mother. He is stopped by Seven. Riker helps revive Beverly and brings her to the bridge. When Picard sees her, he realizes that Jack is his son from a brief relationship he had with Beverly decades earlier. Picard declares the same to Shaw. Knowing that Picard will not hand over his son, Shaw orders the Titan into a nearby nebula as a delighted Vadic gives chase.The media blames the attack on a mid-level Romulan operative T'Luco, who has never made to anybody's most wanted list ever. He didn't have the credentials to steal a potentially world ending technology (from a secure off world Daystrom facility) and then it doesn't make sense to use it to destroy a mid-level Starfleet recruiting center. The story is that he purchased the device on the black market.Raffi's handler orders her to stop investigating the attack, but she meets with the Ferengi criminal Sneed in hopes of finding those responsible. Sneed had briefly put out a statement that he brokered the sale of the stolen portal device. Raffi knows Sneed is covering for the real people behind the attack. Raffi meets Sneed and says that she works for T'Luco who is being blamed for the attack on Starfleet and wants to know who was the real attacker. Sneed knows Raffi is lying as Sneed had already killed T'Luco to tie off his loose ends. Sneed almost kills her but is killed himself by Raffi's handler, Worf (Michael Dorn).
