Season 4, Episode 12, Conflicts of Interest - Garibaldi takes a job that means he'll have to sneak around his own former security team. But enough things have rubbed him the wrong way that he's willing to do it, even though it may be deadly.

We get to see LeVar Burton channel his natural charisma and show different sides of our favorite chief engineer, but it's nearly overshadowed by one of the most compelling ethical and moral dilemmas ever featured on The Next Generation when Worf has the chance to save the life of a different Romulan. 

Our Two Hander theme month continues, and joining Bryan to discuss what might be the most overlooked episode of The Next Generation is writer-comedian Katie Hampton from The Napping Through Happy Hour podcast. The grades begin at (28:29).
