Data plays oboe? I mean… sure why not?

After the concert he goes out with a friend and the O’Briens.

Data notices what we notice.

Data gives winking a shot.

For the subplot, Crusher’s hypospray falls on the floor.

Then in the torpedo bay things get really serious!

Data asks Guinan, the real counselor on Enterprise, if he should pursue a relationship. She says to just figure it out himself.

He asks Geordi if it might be weird to be in a relationship with a computer program. Geordi’s not the person to ask, man.

So he asks Troi. She says it’s pretty weird, so be careful.

Worf’s advice: You better not hurt her, she’s under my command.

But then he talks to Riker…

So he goes for it, creating a subroutine for their relationship and everything.

(it’s weird)

Meanwhile, stuff that was on top of Picard’s desk is now underneath it.

Data goes through the motions of a relationship.

He even tries out a fight because he heard that’s what people do.

The stakes on the Things-On-The-Floor subplot just ramped way up.

There’s a plan involving Picard in a shuttle and dodging shapes.

The shapes hurt I guess, but they make it out.

And then the lady ends the relationship with Data and Data is like, “k, I’ll delete that subroutine, have a nice day.”
