Bailey had a drink in Ten Forward and left the bar bugged by the advances of Ferengi DaiMon Goss. 

She replaced Worf at the tactical station when the security chief took care of the Romulan defector Alidar Jarok. 

Bailey served at the tactical station on the bridge of the Enterprise-D in 2366. She was replaced by Worf shortly before Kyril Finn and an Ansata terrorist beamed directly on the bridge and abducted Captain Picard. 

Later that year she replaced Worf again at the tactical console when he faced the charges of the Klingon High Council against his father Mogh.
