SQL Query Help

I can query individual characters to get all the scenes they are in and can restrict it based on setting just fine.
But I can't figure out a way to get only scenes that have two or more specific characters in them.

Here's the query I run for getting individual character scenes.

SELECT `Episode Scenes`.Season, `Episode Scenes`.Number,
`Episode Scenes`.Time, `Episode Scenes`.Setting FROM
`Appearances`, `Episode Scenes` WHERE `Appearances`.Time =
`Episode Scenes`.Time AND `Appearances`.Season = `Episode
Scenes`.Season AND `Appearances`.Number = `Episode
Scenes`.Number AND `Episode Scenes`.Setting = 'Bridge'
AND `CharacterCode` = 'WORF'

That returns all the scenes that have Worf on the Bridge.
But let's say I want to restrict it to get only Bridge scenes with Riker, Worf, and Troi.
I can't figure out how to do that!!
If I try to run the search I get every scene that all those characters are in, not every scene with that exact combination of characters.

Here's my schema again for quick reference:
(stars denote primary keys)
(I'm only querying from Episode List and Appearances for now)

Character {*CharacterCode, Name, Rank}
Episode List {*Season, *Number, Name, Disc, Title, Synopsis}

Featuring {*Season, *Number, *CharacterCode}
Episode Scenes {*Season, *Number, *Time, Setting, Trailer,
Memorable}
Appearances {*Season, *Number, *Time, *CharacterCode}

I forgot to paste it in, but this is a database for storing episodes of Star Trek. I want to able to store every individual scene of every episode and be able to search for particular characters in a particular place and have that info sent back to me in the form of what episode and time of that episode they're in.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
