I’ve rewatched “Reunion” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 7). It’s another very Klingon episode, including K'ehleyr and a lot of politics. (Spoilers!) The emperor is dying – he found out that somebody was slowly poisoning him through the wine. Now he wants Picard to take to rule after him for some time to find who was the murderer – unworthy of being called a Klingon. K’ehleyr as an ambassador is involved in all this mess and Worf has problems dealing with Klingons (because he’s dishonoured – his father was claimed to be a traitor), but these are not the only problems – K’ehleyr has somebody very special with her – Alexander her and Worf’s son. On the one hand, Worf doesn’t want his dishonour to fall on his son, in case the boy would want to live in the Klingon Empire, on the other hand, it’s still his son. The big political problem is that there are two competitors, who want to rule the Empire next and one of them killed the previous Emperor. During one of the meetings an explosion occurs and it appears to be of Romulan origin, so captain Picard has to play for time to investigate, but K’ehleyr investigates faster – she finds out that Duras’ father was the traitor, she tries to threaten him, but he kills her, so Worf goes to the Klingon ship for vengeance and kills Duras. Now he has no living witnesses for his father’s innocence and a strain on his Starfleet record and he has to send his son to his human parents. If I do recall this correctly, this story will have its continuation.
