Synopsis by Hal Erickson
LeVar Burton doubled as co-star and director of this episode, which originally aired on May 29, 1993. Returning to the site of a transport accident which occured eight years earlier, Riker comes face to face with an exact double of himself. Living alone for those many years, the "early" Riker still harbors a love for Deanna Troi. As Geordi tries to solve the mystery of the twin Rikers, the "later" Riker tries to reconcile his present feelings for Troi with the ardor expressed by his alter ego. "Second Chances" was written by Rene A. Echavarria, from a story by Michael A. Medlock.
