The Enterprise is struck by some force which causes everyone to forget their identities but not their skills. The information they can retrieve suggests that the Federation is in a long-term war.
With Guinan's intuition (she's been familiar with alternate time lines at least twice thus far in the series), she might have been able to shed some light on what was going on, but I suppose in that case, there wouldn't have been much of an episode. Guinan is completely missing here and Data briefly serves as a bartender.
Still, it's one of the better episodes, a real mystery similar to "Clues" but much better than that episode.
