This one time, Geordi made a holographic avatar of Dr. Leia Brahms, the chief architect of the Enterprise’s engines, to help get the ship out of a disaster situation. He developed a rapport with the holo character.

Fast forward to another episode and the real Dr. Brahms boards the ship and is nothing like the friendly holo character. As she’s diagnosing the ship’s engines for an upgrade she finds the holo program of herself before Geordi can stop her.

Awkwardness and poorly-aged life lessons ensues.
