Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The titular figure in this episode is Soren (Melinda Cullen, a member of the androgynous J'naii race. In defiance of her race's ban on male/female relationships, Soren has a sexual relationship and is promptly ostracized. Her plight becomes even more poignant -- and potentially deadly -- when she falls in love with Riker, whose presence amongst the J'naii might very well signal the end of the race. First broadcast March 21, 1992, "The Outcast" was written by Jeri Taylor.
