This was another one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Thine Own Self which aired February 12, 1994. Data (Brent Spiner) is tracking a failed probe which crashed onto a primitive planet, that is unaware of interstellar beings and warp drive.
Unfortunately, Data also crashes and loses his memory. He wanders into a nearby village that appears to be technologically similar to medieval England. He is taken in by a kindly widower Garvin and his daughter Gia. Without his memory, Data inadvertently exposes the inhabitants to radioactive rocks, and soon people start getting sick. So one can imagine what happens when a stranger comes to town and people fall ill.
The village doctor Talur (played by actress Ronnie Claire Edwards [an Okie!] is a strong female character who accepts Data and is not afraid of him.
Meanwhile, Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) is taking her bridge officer tests, which Riker (Jonathan Frakes) is supervising. She keeps failing the engineering engineering test.
Until she learns it isn't about engineering.
