I *believe* you are speaking of TNG's Third Season's "Transfigurations".
Production # 173. First aired on 6/4/1990. Star Trek Stardate 43957.2.
Here is this episode's page on www.startrek.com: (The site contains a
complete synopsis, pictures, and a Video Preview for the episode)
http://www.startrek.com/library/tng_episodes/episodes_tng_detail_68452.asp
And, here is the complete synopsis,. just in case you can not access the
site:
Small Synopsis:
The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is stunned by the incredible powers of a
mysterious humanoid.
Large Synopsis:
When the Enterprise discovers a severely injured humanoid in the wreckage of
an escape pod, Geordi volunteers to have his nervous system hooked up to the
stranger's, in order to stabilize him. During the process, a wave of visible
energy is transmitted from the humanoid to Geordi.
Dr. Crusher holds little hope for the recovery of the patient she has dubbed
"John Doe," but he soon begins to exhibit amazing recuperative powers. While
his damaged tissue is repairing itself at a remarkable rate, "John's"
undamaged cells are mutating in a manner incomprehensible to the doctor.
Evidence surrounding the pod's wreckage indicates that it was involved in a
battle, but when "John" awakens, he is unable to remember anything from his
past. When Picard tells him that they have nearly determined the coordinates
of his origin and that he will soon be returned to his planet, "John"
experiences a sense of fear and tells Picard that he thinks he was trying to
escape his planet, but cannot remember why.
Meanwhile, "John's" presence seems to bring a sense of serenity to the crew
members he is in contact with, particularly Geordi. "John" then exhibits
remarkable powers when he heals O'Brien's dislocated shoulder with a touch
of his hand, which emits the same wave of visible energy that entered
Geordi.
"John," however, is soon plagued by intermittent bouts of severe pain which
frighten him into trying to steal a shuttlecraft. When Worf tries to stop
him, "John" suddenly convulses in pain and then pulses into a large flare,
knocking Worf off a catwalk to the deck below. Dr. Crusher's examination of
Worf shows a broken neck and no vital signs, but when "John" touches him, a
glow of light again emanates from his hand and Worf is completely healed.
When Dr. Crusher reports that "John's" rate of cell mutation is increasing,
he fears that he will be dangerous to the crew and asks Picard to let him
leave. However, their conversation is interrupted by the approach of an
unidentified vessel which begins scanning the U.S.S. Enterprise. The
commander of the ship, Sunad of Zalkon, demands the return of "John,"
declaring that he is an escaped prisoner sentenced to death for acts of
agitation.
Having no memory of the past, "John" can neither confirm nor deny the
accusation, but offers to surrender in order to prevent endangering the
U.S.S. Enterprise. When Picard refuses to turn "John" over, the entire crew
of the U.S.S. Enterprise is suddenly struck with paralysis. Realization of
his past slowly dawns on "John" and he calmly departs for the Bridge where,
by touching a console, his energy spreads to cover the entire starship and
heals the crew.
With a wave of his hand, "John" brings Sunad onto the Bridge and explains to
Picard that his species is on the verge of an evolutionary change and that
the rulers, fearing a loss of power, began to destroy the first members to
go through the metamorphosis. Sunad is then returned to his ship and "John,"
having evolved into a form of energy, prepares to return to his people to
spread the word of the coming rebirth.
Hope this was the episode you were referring too. This is the only TNG
episode that I can recall, where the Guest Star Alien turns into energy at
the end.
