TNG: SEASON 1, EPISODE 21

While searching for the lost USS Drake at the planet Minos, the Enterprise crew is given an “offer it can’t refuse” when an ancient weapon merchant program tries to sell them an automated probe which obliterated its own creators long ago. LaForge has to assume command in a battle while Picard is off ship, and Ruthie and Matthew talk about sales pitches and how we often feel the need to “sell” ourselves.
