Episode was?


Picard & crew are on a diplomantic mission to pick up and deliver a women-inside-a-stasis egg, a courtesan designed & bred (made?) to bond with the first male she sees upon awakening. She is meant to seal a peace/truce between two warring factions. Of course, due to a 1 in a bazilljon accident, she sees Picard first. But from him, she learns that she can and must do her duty, and ‘fake’ bond with her intended.

At the end of the episode, her chaperone, an oldster, asks Picard how he resisted her charms, because evan as old as he is, he doubts he could do so. Instead of answering, Picard hopes the chaperone has a pleasant remaining journey.

What episode this was? What were Picard’s exact words to the chaperone’s question? Who werr the actors playing the courtesan and chaperone?

"The Perfect Mate" - Season 5 (1992)

Kamala was played by Famke Janssen.
Ambassador Briam was played by Tim O'Connor.

I'll need to watch it again to get the exact words.

Thanks, Tristan! Now that I know the episode name, I’ll scrounge around on YouTube, maybe find a post of that scene if I’m lucky.

I believe he said something like "I'm on my way to sick bay, so Dr. Crusher can reattach my wang." I always took that to mean that he had it surgically removed earlier so he could avoid temptation in that situation because what straight guy could turn down a 20-something Famke Janssen?
