Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Child (1988)
Episode 1, Season 2
Horrific A plot, but a B plot with interest

The A plot of Counselor Troy is quite disturbing and hasn't aged well -- while the general plot of Troy being fine with getting impregnated against her will is quite horrible, some of the scenes are cringe worthy. The scene of the bridge officers discussing how to terminate her pregnancy (entirely ignoring Troy) is particularly unpleasant.
The B plot about Wesley Crusher -- particularly the introduction of Guinan -- is fairly good. It provides a good bridge to keep Crusher even though his mom left the ship while providing some good life lessons.
