Riker's Quarters Serving Plates
A modest set of small, utilitarian serving plates brought into Riker's quarters to portion and present his improvised Alaskan stew. The plates arrive warm, bear simple, everyday wear, and serve as the tactile center of a quiet reparative meal: Riker ladles stew onto them while Pulaski and Geordi accept portions and Worf visibly recoils.

Purpose
To hold and present individual portions of Riker's improvised Alaskan stew during a low‑key, reparative meal in his quarters.
Significance
They function as props of domestic repair: distributing food, signaling Riker's sacrifice, and staging the intimate ritual that restores morale for most of the crew while also making Worf's cultural refusal visible and thematically resonant.
