Synopsis by Hal Erickson
While on a first contact mission with the Malconian race, Riker is seriously injured. When he awakens in a hospital, he insists that he is someone else, specifically, Rivas Jakara of the Marta Community. The Malconian authorities place him in custody, accusing him of being the leader of an impending alien invasion. The subsequent plot twists and turns may prove baffling even for hard-core Next Generation fans. Scripted by Dennis Russell Bailey, David Bischoff, Joe Menonsky, Ronald D. Moore and Michael Piller from a story by Marc Scott Zicree, "First Contact" was first presented to the American viewing public on February 23, 1991.
