Synopsis: A new female officer is under Picard’s…command.

Memory Alpha Summary: And he engages

Review:  It’s nice to see Picard actually fall in love, rather than the infatuations he had with Vashar and Kamala.  I love how the writers brought back his experience on Kataan and weave it into his intimacy with his girlfriend.  Despite the fact that most of this episode is bereft of conflict, it’s still rather touching, thanks to the beautiful scenes where the two of them play music together.  I felt the writers also dealt rather well with the difficulties of intra-ship romances, especially for a captain.  It would have been nice to see Nella Daren in at least one more episode so that she doesn’t seem to be yet another one-episode fling that is forgotten, but alas.
