Joval staffs a resort on Risa and approaches guests like Picard to offer services such as swims and massages. She spots his Horga'hn idol and explains its meaning as a symbol of sexuality that signals desire for Jamaharon, the Risian intimacy ritual.

Her actions enforce resort customs and spotlight clashes between Risian sensuality and visiting Starfleet reserve.
