Instead , Wesley resets the simulation , briefly placing Picard and the others in the middle of a snowstorm before finding themselves back in Dixon 's office . With the reset successfully clearing the malfunction , the exit doors finally appear . Despite Picard 's warnings , Redblock and Leech exit the holodeck , but dissipate as they move beyond the range of its holoemitters . As they leave the holodeck , Picard thanks McNary for his assistance , who now suspects that his world is artificial and asks whether Picard 's departure is " the big goodbye " , to which Picard replies that he simply doesn 't know . Picard reaches the bridge in time to give the proper greeting to the Jaradan . The Jaradan accept the greeting , heralding the start of successful negotiations .
