I like the pre-credits business of getting close to the star.

“Wow” -Wesley

Enterprise beams over some space losers

And some jerks!

They can electrocute people by touching them! So they have a touching fight

There is an interesting dispute for Picard to mediate.

These guys are addicted to a drug that is being sold to them by those other jerks as medicine! Crusher is getting worked up!

Picard doesn’t want to hear it

This turns into a prime directive issue.

Crusher doesn’t care about the prime directive! She’s such a rebel

Lt. Yar gives us a lesson on why drugs are bad. Thanks Lt. Yar!

The guy makes Riker feel uncomfortable

Crusher gives the drug dealers a stern talking to

Yar thinks these guys are dorks

Prime directive episodes are sometimes unsatisfying when they involve staying out of issues where they could help, but this one gives us a good impression that things are moving in the right direction anyway, with a little unofficial nudging from the Enterprise crew.

Memory Alpha points out that Yar waves goodbye near the end of the episode.
