Since the USS Enterprise-D isn't due to Starbase 621 until the next morning, Picard notes they could delay for a few days, and graciously accepts the governor's offer. Maturin explains to Picard that Caldos was one of the first terraforming projects in the Federation, and the weather control infusion systems are a century old and he would like a starship engineer to take a look at them, and possibly upgrade the infusion systems, in exchange for a tour of the colony and being a guest for a home-cooked meal. Maturin asks Picard how long he plans on staying, to which the captain replies it would only be a few hours, and inquires why.
Crusher takes one last look at her grandmother's grave and leaves with Troi. Realizing the need to get her grandmother's affairs in order, she heads to her house and asks Troi to come along with her.
Crusher notes that the camellia was her grandmother's favorite flower, to which Troi responds by wondering whether he might be a friend or patient, but then Crusher mentions that the gesture with the camellia was too personal and that he gave her the most remarkable look. Troi says she didn't see anyone that fits her description. Troi compliments Crusher on the eulogy, and the doctor asks about the mysterious man she saw throw the camellia on the coffin, describing him as mid 30s with longish hair. Crusher looks over and sees a mysterious man walking with the other colonists who stops and gives her one glance before leaving. As the colonists circle the grave and the gravediggers begin to bury her, a camellia is thrown to the coffin. Governor Maturin reads a modified version of the Anglican burial service as her coffin slowly descends beneath the ground.
Doctor Beverly Crusher reads a eulogy before her late grandmother's coffin at the Caldos colony graveyard, with Counselor Deanna Troi and Captain Jean-Luc Picard at her side, describing her grandmother, Felisa Howard, as a healer, and one who offers more than just a healthy body she will miss her advice, healing, and most of all, her inspiration that she has provided Crusher with through the years.
