Though technologically advanced far beyond most other worlds, the planet Aldea is populated by a sterile race in danger of extinction. Hoping to repopulate their world, the Aldeans kidnap a group of Enterprise children, including Wesley Crusher. It is up to Wesley's mother, the Enterprise's medical officer, to solve the Aldeans' dilemma and reclaim the stolen children. Written by Hannah Louise Shearer, "When the Bough Breaks" made its syndicated debut on February 20, 1988.
