Picard is zapped by an alien probe, & lives an entire lifetime in his head while unconscious. We see that life play out as the bulk of the ep. It is a tour

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 125 - The Inner Light - 1 Jun 1992 2/2 de force performance by Patrick Stewart. While I rarely cry watching TV, this one came close to doing it for me. There are a few scenes on the Ent, but don't care. My description doesn't do it justice, you have to watch it.
