“We’ll Always Have Paris”
“We’ll Always Have Paris” The Enterprise receives a distress call from Dr. Paul Manheim’s science outpost on Vandor IV, where he has been conducting experiments with non-linear time with the disastrous result that interdimensional rifts were created. Manheim’s wife, Jenice, turns out to be an old love of Picard’s. While Manheim appears to be dying, Picard ponders why he left her in Paris without notice 22 years ago. Using Manheim’s directions, Data succeeds in sealing the dimensional breach, although he finds himself in three time continuums at once. Manheim is cured and continues with his work.

That’s one of the few episodes I must have missed while watching TNG many years ago. I only saw it last year for the first time, therefore my opinion might be a little different.
I don’t usually mind the memories but if over 90% of the episode consists of them… well…
I know Picard has the right to have his doubts. After all, contrary to Kirk, he truly IS married to the Enterprise. Okay, I’m being picky. It’s a nice episode after all. And the scene with three (or were there more?) Datas is cute. A big okay.
