The Primarch of Raimon, Sarlis Gaspadral, believes that his death may be imminent. As per Raimonian custom, there will be a death celebration - an extravagant celebration culminating in a public reading of his last will and testament. Since the Federation is in a very beneficial mining treaty with Raimon, they are sending Captain Jean-Luc Picard as a diplomatic envoy to the occasion. While serving on the USS Stargazer, Picard attended the death celebration of the previous Primarch and his presence has been specifically requested by the current Primarch.
Geordi La Forge and James McRobb watch Worf exercise by fighting and easily defeating a hologram in single combat. After Geordi and Worf leave, McRobb injures himself attempting to use the same holodeck program.
Meanwhile, Picard, Riker, and two security officers beam down to the death celebration. Lord Tardol, a political enemy of the Primarch, recognizes Picard and is surprised that he would dare to show up. Tardol indicates that Picard may not be as welcome as he thinks he is.
Lutina Gaspadral, the Primarch's daughter, is overjoyed to see Picard although he barely recognizes her since she was only five years old on his previous visit. Since Picard's last visit, she has been wearing a model of the Stargazer that Picard gave her around her neck.
Meanwhile, some of the crew are discussing their surprise at Picard mentioning that he admired a five-year old while Counselor Troi tries to cope with Data's being in command, whom she cannot sense emotion from.
On the planet's surface, just as Riker leaves Picard for the night, a messenger arrives claiming that he was ordered to bring Picard to the Primarch for a secret meeting. Picard enters alone and finds that the Primarch has been murdered. He sees a shadow fleeing from the scene and chases down Lord Tardol just as the Primarch's security forces find the two of them and have them both arrested for murder.
