The title character in this episode is none other than our old android friend, Lt. Cmdr. Data. Along with several other crew members, Data rushes to the aid of dying scientist Ira Graves (W. Morgan Sheppard). Fascinated by Data, Graves bestows upon him a split personality, then unceremoniously expires. The motivation behind Graves' final gesture remains unclear to everyone but the old man's faithful assistant, Kareen Brianon (Barbara Alyn Woods). Scripted by Tracy Torme from a story by Hans Beimler and Richard Manning, "The Schizoid Man" initially aired January 28, 1989.
