Quick recap

In 2375, Data, secretly observing the peaceful Ba'ku with a joint Federation and Son'a team, malfunctions and exposes the operation. Picard comes to get him and grows suspicious when the Enterprise is ordered away. The Ba'ku live simply, but they don't age: the planet's rings give off particles that regenerate the body. Picard uncovers the plan of Admiral Dougherty and Son'a leader Ru'afo: forcibly move the Ba'ku and harvest the particles. There's more: the Son'a are Ba'ku exiled a century ago who want revenge. Picard defies orders and helps the people escape. Ru'afo kills Dougherty and pushes on alone, but Picard destroys the collector. In the end, the Ba'ku welcome the Son'a back.
