[6.21] Frame of Mind (ending and after)
May. 15th, 2010 01:21 amData is given the bridge when Captain Picard is called to the transporter room. Counselor Troi goes with him.
He only gets a brief glimpse of Commander Riker hours later, when the first officer is called to the captain's ready room to debrief. Data notes that he is back in uniform.
Another glimpse, when Commander Riker leaves, presumably to get some rest. Picard takes control of the bridge again. It seems that Data will be sitting in the first officer's chair for a little while longer.
Data does not have opportunity to speak with Commander Riker until the next morning, when he is relieved of his usual night shift. At that point, it is a simple, "It is good to have you back, sir," that earns a familiar smile, and Data is finally able to take his usual place at the ops postion.
Data had noticed the absence of that smile.
