Riker also claims that Worf never took a shuttlecraft to the bat’leth tournament, but Lieutenant Wesley Crusher finds a fissure in the space-time continuum with a Starfleet shuttlecraft’s ion trail leading from it. Data tells Worf that his body is in quantum flux at the molecular level, which the pair report to Captain Riker, who tells Worf he was promoted after Picard was killed by the Borg. Data and Crusher test LaForge’s VISOR to see whether that might be affecting Worf, but as soon as they activate it, Worf becomes dizzy again and finds himself wearing the first officer’s uniform on a militarized Enterprise.

They try to talk to LaForge in sickbay, but he has died of wounds suffered in the Cardassian attack. Data makes the observation that LaForge was present in each instance in which Worf describes dizziness and disorientation. When Worf returns to his quarters, Troi tries to comfort him and is shocked when Worf fails to remember that he is married to her. Picard has no recollection of Worf’s previous memory problems and relieves him of duty. Worf cannot find the proper settings, and while Riker takes over the panel, the Cardassians destroy the Argus Array. Suddenly he finds himself on a bridge with a new set of defensive controls, with the ship at Red Alert and Picard ordering him to raise shields. When Worf tells Troi of his disorientation, he finds that the painting Data gave him for his birthday has changed. On the bridge, Picard begins a conversation with a Cardassian captain Worf warns that his ship appears to be the one that attacked the Argus Array, but Picard has no idea what Worf is talking about. When Worf returns to his quarters, he finds that his large trophy has transformed into a small prize for ninth place.

Crusher tells him that this is probably a result of the concussion that made him lose the bat’leth tournament. Later, while helping Data and LaForge determine whether a Cardassian ship has tampered with the telescopic Argus Array, Worf feels dizzy and the room seems to change. Plot Summary: Though happy to have won a bat’leth tournament, Worf is dreading the surprise birthday party he knows Riker has planned for him, but he soon has bigger problems: Picard appears at the party after Worf was told that he could not attend, and the cake changes from chocolate to vanilla. When Worf finds reality shifting around him while no one else seems aware of the change, he concludes that he is moving from universe to universe.
