Geordi’s best move once it was discovered probably would have been to say “I asked the computer to give me a realistic person to bounce ideas off of in a crisis, and I turned it off when it started saying weird stuff like that.”

Geordi’s best move would have been to start with, “You’re not going to believe this, but…” instead of giving off major creeper vibes for most of the episode, only fessing up once caught, and then trying to gaslight her into thinking it was unreasonable for her to be upset. Watching him try and squirm his way out of “How did you know that?” situations is painful.
