That's Data. (already plural - datum is singular).

True - but the episode title was (purposefully) titled "A Fistful of Datas" to emulate "A Fistful of Dollars"

Spiner played a minister who tried unsuccessfully to convince the old man that the doctor who signed his death certificate was right.

But as he once said, "Data is my name; data is not." So while data may be the plural of datum, Datas is the plural of Data.

In the aforementioned "A Fistful of Datas" the holodeck malfunctions, making all the characters look like Data.

Brent Spiner was speaking to the old man on the porch, as I recall. I don't believe Spiner was at the dinner table with the family. It was the pepper the old witch gave the grandson that finally convinced Grandpa of the truth about what everyone had been telling him.

Spoiler:
When the pepper made him sneeze, his nose fell off into the napkin, making him realize everyone was right: he had indeed died. Thus with the words, "There's no fool like an old fool," he shuffled upstairs to climb back in his deathbed.
