Reunion

This one re-unites Worf and Keh'Lar, whom we first met in the second season episode," The Emmissary. "

She is back because Kem'Pec, who has been leader of the Klingon Empire for longer than anyone else before him is dying. He has been poisoned.

Kemp'Pec talks with Picard before he dies, appointing him to choose his successor: Either Durass - or Gow'Ron.

Kem'Pec dies. Keh'Lar leads a ceremony where Durass and Gow'Ron hit him with painsticks, to prove to themselves that he is really dead.

Meanwhile, Keh'Lar has not arrived .. she brough Worf's son, who was concieved on the Holodeck in " The Emmissary."

Worf is shocked at this turn of events, but is friendly to the kid, whose name is Alexandar. Worf will not marry Keh'Lar because he was dishonored in " Sins Of The Father "

Durass kills Keh'Lar when she starts digging around in the Klingon computer data base about Worf's discommodation - you see, Worf's father was accused of being in cahoots with the Romulans when it was actually Durass' father who betrayed the colony and nearly all were killed in a Romulan attack.

Durass did this to keep his dirty little secret a secret.. though the entire Klingon knew this. It was made hush - hush because it was feared that Civil War would break out if this fact were common knowledge.

Worf and Alexandar return to Worf's quarters and find Keh'Lar, who is nearly dead.

She tells Worf that it was Durass who attacked her. She dies. Worf howls, to let those in the next life know that Keh'Lar is arriving there.
He tell Alexandar that he must always remember this moment, and we see that he did, in the seventh season episode, " Firstborn. "

Worf goes to the Klingon vessel and kills Durass, claiming right of vengeance.

He gets a permanent reprimand on his Starfleet record.
Alexandar asks Worf if he is his father. Worf tells him " Yes."

He sends the boy to live with his (Worf's ) parents.

This is easily the best 4 th season episode.

I always hate it when Keh'Lar died. I liked her a lot.

A part of her survives in the character of BE'Lanna Torres, from Voyager.
