Final Mission : Great episode!

It's Wesley's last, as he is about to go to Starfleet Academy. Picard takes him on this man named Durgo's shuttlecraft to settle a mining dispute when the ship has a malfunction, putting the three onto a dessert moon.

They trek across the dry, hot, barren land and find a cave.. with a water fountain!

However, it is protected by a force field that is impenetrable by a phaser... and a being of energy knocks out the phaser and causes a rockslide, which seriously injures Picard.

Durgo has a plan to get to the water which involves Wesley's and Durgo's phasers, but the plan backfires and Durgo is killed.

Wesley tells Picard that al he has done, his work, preparing for Starfleet - has been to make the Captain proud of him.

Wesley uses a tricorder to eliminate the force field around the water, enabling him to keep the Captain alive until Enterprise arrives.
