Lessons is an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the nineteenth episode of its sixth season.
Picard falls for Lt. Commander Nella Darren, a Starfleet officer in Stellar Sciences. After he suffers incredible loss and pain when it is believed she has died during a mission — upon her safe return, Picard realizes that he is incapable of carrying out a relationship with someone under his command and also fulfilling his duty to Starfleet. Cmdr. Darren requests a transfer, and is never heard from again.
"Lessons" brings out of storage Picard's beloved Ressikan flute, which he learned to play during the critically acclaimed episode The Inner Light.
A highlight of the episode is the duet with Picard on the flute, and Darren playing her keyboard.
