NST: TNG - Emergence - Season 7, Episode 23
Emergence! Well, pretty much everyone on the Enterprise-D has had some sort of parent-related storyline this season. So why not have the Enterprise-D itself also finally have parent issues?

NST: DS9 - The Wire - Season 2, Episode 22
The Wire! A really bad headache leads to Garak finally opening up to Bashir about his past. Except he really doesn't since pretty much every single thing he says is a lie.

NST: TNG - Bloodlines - Season 7, Episode 22
Bloodlines! So now that Picard's de facto son Wesley has left the show for good, he gets a new fake son, the main guy from Robocop rip-off Super Force.

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part II - Season 2, Episode 21
The Maquis, Part II! So, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, the actual best part of this episode is Sisko giving his famous "saint in paradise" speech, but other than that, uuuh... let's just say that the main antagonist got so annoying that even Michael Piller was like, "yeah, we should've killed him off."
