Description

Season 3, Episode 23 Original air date: May 14, 1990 As Picard attempts to negotiate with the Legarans, Perrin arrives and suggests an option: for Sarek to mind-meld with another as to temporarily transfer his emotions onto someone else; this would leave Sarek within his sense to successfully complete the conference, but Perrin warns of the possible dangers to the receiver's mind from the strong emotions. Picard willingly agrees to be the host. Sarek performs the mind-meld with Picard, and is able to retain full control of his emotions for the duration of the conference. However, Picard, monitored closely by Dr. Crusher, suffers through the numerous emotions that Sarek has pent up for years, including his regrets of not being able to show his love of his wives Amanda or Perrin or his son Spock. With the conference successfully completed, Sarek prepares to take his leave. Picard lets Perrin know of Sarek's love for her, but Perrin is well aware of his love. Sarek thanks Picard for his kindness, and that they will retain the best parts of each other in the future. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarek_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
