In the TNG episode "When the Bough Breaks" (S01E17), a dying race steals some of the children from the Enterprise. An obviously upset mother asks Picard "How are you going to get them back?"

Beverly responds with "Sit down... don't give in to fear. We all knew what the risks were when we signed on, and that's the choice we made."
WHAT? Who thought this was a good line for her to say?

I don't remember her feeling that way when Wesley's life was on the line because his goofy ass can't catch a ball in "Justice" (S01E08).

Beverly, when it's someone else's kid: "Calm down, it's your fault for having the kid here."
Beverly, anytime Wesley is in trouble: "Captain, do something, even if it violates every rule ever made!"
