Plotline
Vadic, who is a Changeling, is ordered to pursue the Titan at all costs; doing so in the nebula requires disengagement of the portal technology. With only a few hours of power remaining on the Titan, Riker admits Picard was right and suggests he spend his last moments bonding with Jack.
In the holodeck, Picard and Jack tell each other some of their adventures, but are joined by Shaw who bitterly recounts his experience as a Starfleet engineer during the Battle of Wolf 359 at the hands of "Locutus of Borg".
Riker, Beverly, and Picard form a risky plan to use an energy pulse from the nebula to recharge the ship's systems. Shaw and Seven help them succeed, and Seven identifies and kills the Changeling impostor. The Titan damages the Shrike on their way out of the nebula. Soon after the nebula transforms into an array of jellyfish-like space creatures.
As they warp away, Picard realises that he briefly met Jack five years earlier and inadvertently dismissed his attempt at connection. Alone, Jack has vivid hallucinations and hears voices calling to him.
