Another strong episode.

 

The relationship between Riker and Yuta was very sweet, and the fact she looked so innocent and harmless made her even more dangerous.

 

It was quite a sad ending when Riker had to kill her.

 

The Gatherer who was aboard the Enterprise was quite funny too.

 

"I have plenty of friends who don't like me". That was a good line.

I gave it a 5. Just a captivating episode through and through. Fantastic story, the leaders themselves were done very believably, in terms of their initial appearances, and then their tactics at the bargaining table. Loved this episode.
