Tapestry (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
"Tapestry" is the 15th episode of the sixth season of the American science fiction television series ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', the 141st overall. It was originally released on February 15, 1993, in broadcast syndication. Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Federation starship ''Enterprise''. In this episode, Q (John de Lancie) allows a supposedly deceased Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) to re-visit a pivotal event in his youth that he since regrets. Picard changes the past, but upon returning to the present he finds that it made him the man he became. He returns once more to the past and returns it to the way it originally took place. Picard wakes up in the present, unsure if the events took place or if it was as a result of his injury.
==Plot==
Captain Jean-Luc Picard is shot and slips into unconsciousness. He awakes to find himself in a world of white, and the only other inhabitant is Q. He explains that the energy blast that hit Picard destroyed his artificial heart, but that a natural heart would have survived. Picard lost his original heart years ago when he was stabbed through the chest during a bar brawl, an event that he regrets. Q sends Picard back in time to two days before the brawl, where he meets with fellow cadets and friends Corey Zweller and Marta Batanides. They are surprised by the personality changes in Picard, and he becomes alienated.
Zweller is cheated by a group of Nausicaans at a bar game, and he plans his revenge by rigging the next match. When the game takes place, the Nausicaans are enraged. But instead of joining the fight as he did before, Picard grabs Zweller and leaves. After arguing with his friends, Picard is returned to the present by Q. Instead of being the Captain, Picard finds himself as a junior lieutenant in the astrophysics department on board the ''Enterprise''. Q explains that due to the change, Picard never took any risks in his career and so it became unremarkable and routine. Picard speaks to both Commander William Riker, and Counsellor Deanna Troi, but while they consider Picard a competent and hard-working officer, his aversion to risk means he never distinguishes himself.
Picard confronts Q, who tells him that although the bout with the Nausicaan nearly cost him his life, it also gave him a sense of his mortality. It taught him that life was too precious to squander by playing it safe. Picard realizes that his attempts to suppress and ignore the consequences of his indiscretions have resulted in him losing a part of himself. Picard then declares that he would rather die as captain of the ''Enterprise'' than live as a nobody. Q sends him back to the bar fight and events unfold as they did originally, with Picard being stabbed through the heart and laughing as he collapses to the floor. In the present, Picard awakens in sickbay, a Captain again. As Picard recovers from his injury, he wonders whether he really journeyed into the past or whether it was merely a hallucination or one of Q's tricks. In any case, he is grateful for the insight the experience gave him.
