Season 4
Episode 82 The Augments
Enterprise stops the viruses from being released but the Augments stole a bunch more. The main bad Augment Malik wants to blow up a torpedo in the atmosphere of a Klingon colony which will kill millions and start a war between humans and Klingons. Soong is against this, he then starts trying to alter the embryos they stole to make them less aggressive murdering psychos. So the Augments confine him to quarters. One of the female Augments feels bad and bust Soong out, allowing him to flee in an escape pod. Enterprise picks up Soong who decides to help Enterprise stop the Augments from killing millions and causing a war. In the process all the Augments are killed in a space battle with Enterprise. Soong is returned to prison and decides to devote his mental genius to robotics stating it will take generations to perfect. Thus setting the stage for one of his decedents to create Data.
An awesome conclusion to a great story arc. The entire concept was implemented perfectly from start to finish. The callback to Star Trek: The Original Series is stellar. It even discusses Kahn and the Botany Bay. Adding Brent Spiner who played Data as a guest star was a nice addition. It’s absolutely one of the best story arcs of the season.
