Tin Woodman), when entering a turbolift, Picard decides that his uncharacteristic behavior warrants an examination. Although no physical anomalies are detected, Troi's psychotronic stability tests suggest there are two personalities within Data, his original one and one that is foreign and dominant, which threatens to replace Data's personality. Picard realizes that Graves has transferred his mind into Data. Graves, in Data, reveals the truth to Kareen and while passionately proposing that she do the same so they can spend eternity together, accidentally breaks two bones in her hand due to Data's superhuman strength. Picard tries to persuade Graves to give up Data's body voluntarily, noting the harm he is causing to those he loves. Graves knocks the captain unconscious. When Picard awakens, he and a security team find Data in his quarters. Data is back to his old self and Kareen finds that Graves has transferred himself out of Data and into the Enterprise's computer but only his knowledge, not his consciousness; the "human" part of Dr. Graves has been lost. Reception In 2011, Tor.com rated this episode 8 out of 10 and praised the acting performance of Morgan Sheppard and Brent Spiner, as they depict the scientist's personality. The A.V. Club gave the episode a grade C−. Den of Geek praised Spiner for his performance, and says the episode starts well "but in the last twenty minutes it runs out of ideas and turns awful." In 2012, Wired noted this episode as one of the worst of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. They suggest that the episode was inspired by an episode of the television show called The Prisoner, and they tried to have the star of that show be the guest star in this episode.
