The Captain just can't catch a break.

The Captain is smitten by the Young Lady, who in turn is fascinated by the Lieutenant, who in turn (if I remember correctly) already has a sweetheart at home; while the Young Lady's Mother is unable to hide her contempt towards all things ILR (which is probably Not A Good Idea on a ship swarming with ILR troopers) ...what could possibly go wrong? Besides, so to speak, everything?
