'The Outcast' is largely an allegory about sexuality, first as a battle of the sexes (with debate consuming even the weekly poker game) then as a controversial look at conversion therapy. And it has its problems, particularly in the last few scenes, but I liked this because it was a love story. Riker falls for a member of an androgynous race (one who later proclaims her own femininity) and Frakes really sells it here; her importance to Will and his desperation to intervene when her superiors disapprove. And that's where it really has an effect.
