Considered one of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Yesterday's Enterprise, the fifteenth episode of the third season, aired February 17, 1990. The Enterprise D encounters a rip in the space-time continuum. The Enterprise C, which had been lost years before, appears, and the present is changed. The Enterprise D becomes a war ship. Lt. Tasha Yar appears and Lt. Worf disappears. Guinan knows something is wrong and demands that Picard send the Enterprise C back, even though it means its imminent destruction.
The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series. It is the only episode in which Guinan and Tasha Yar have a scene together. Yar was killed in the first season, and Guinan appeared in the second season.
Earlier drafts of the episode had Worf being the Klingon commander who demands the Enterprise to surrender. Also, the writers decided to kill Tasha Yar off a second time to give her a more heroic send-off, since her first death was deemed a disappointment. It was the last time Tasha Yar and Wesley Crusher appeared in the same episode.
