Like many other Next Generation episodes, this one offers two seemingly unrelated subplots which, by fadeout time, become inextricably linked. One story strand finds Geordi getting the chance to meet the "real" version of Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney), who he had previously recreated on the Holodeck. In the other subplot, the crew becomes a collective surrogate mother to a newborn alien "energy creature" whose mother Picard was forced to destroy. Originally aired March 16, 1991, "Galaxy's Child" was scripted by Maurice Hurley from a story by Thomas Kortozian.
