215: '''Pen Pals''' ''[[1989]] [[May 1]]''
I'm reminded of an old [[Star Trek: The Original Series]] novel; I'm not sure right now if it predates TNG. Anyway, the similarity is that in both cases the Enterprise crew took action from above to save a planet headed for destruction. In the TOS novel, they explicitly stated that if the results of their actions that the people on the planet noticed could be seen as ''possible'' if not necessarily ''likely'', well, that was the wiggle room they needed for it to be less Prime Directive-shattering.
Tin man really has a heart in this episode. Cute the way Sarjenka hides behind him from everyone else.
