In "A Farewell to Farms," Mariner and Boimler travel to the Klingon homeworld, Qo'noS, where they look up Ma'ah, a once-honored Klingon warrior now living a mundane life on his family's farm. They attempt to help him reclaim his lost rank and the command of a Klingon Battlecruiser despite the opposition of the Oversight Committee. The B-plot takes place on the Cerritos. Captain Freeman and her crew try to handle a touchy diplomatic crisis involving Dr. Migleemo and two visiting Klowahkan dignitaries who are food critics with exceptionally high standards.
