Episode: "Encounter at Farpoint"

Whilst on its voyage to planet Deneb IV, the Enterprise is obstructed by an immense grid. The encounter is swiftly followed by contact with a member of an omnimpotent alien race that goes by the name Q. The Q have judged humanity's expansion into the galaxy has proceeded at far too great a pace but insist on using examples from humanity's past to justify arguments supporting that the species has failed to reached anything like civilisation or enlightenment and that they should therefore retreat back to Earth. Captain Picard of course protests and offers a counterproposal, that the Q observe the behaviour of the Enterprise crew throughout their mission to Deneb IV as a means of seeing first hand just how far present-day humans have come.

Our heroes have done it (as if there were any doubt!) despite numerous futile temptations offered by Q to invite their failure. The puzzle behind Farpoint Station on planet Deneb IV has been solved with a demonstration of human compassion on the part of Picard and company playing key to proving to the Q that by and large humanity is no longer a grievously savage race; Q begrudgingly agrees and leaves but not before implying that he is not done with humanity yet.
