The Enterprise picks up the sole survivor of a crash landing (I think) on a planet in a system they're mapping. After Crusher does some quick work, the survivor starts healing unusually fast.
I feel like this episode is a story that has been told several times in Star Trek. It turns out that the survivor is a next evolutionary step for a local species. He's able to heal (and hurt) people with some glowing touch.
It's not a great episode, but it doesn't bother me. I think there's one main problem. Geordi has a link with the survivor, and the effect seems to be increased confidence, allowing Geordi to pursue a girl he's interested in. While this is a pleasant plot, it doesn't feel like it gets tied into the story as firmly as it should. Also, I don't think it results in anything that exists beyond this episode.
