In Theory
The Enterprise enters a dark matter nebula, the Mar Oscura. Strange things start happening. Parts of the ship phase out of existence for moments. One crew member gets killed when she slips partway through a deck and then gets stuck between decks when it rematerializes.
Lieutenant Jenna D'Sora develops a crush on Lieutenant Commander Data. This is soon after she has broken up with another member of the crew. She tries pursuing a relationship with Data. She makes it clear that she likes him. He tries to reciprocate her feelings, in his own un-emotional way, and finds that she needs more than he seems to be capable of giving her.
At first Jenna seemed very much interested in Data but once he started to do things to keep her happy she seemed to lose interest in him as a romantic partner. There was no going back to the way things were. The episode ends with her telling him that it's over. It was not a happy ending.
The two story lines don't really intersect much. Data is involved in both of them but that's about the sum of it in terms of crossover between them.
This was a decent episode but I wouldn't say it is a must watch. I might have liked it a bit more if it felt like there was something more to the way it wound up. The dark matter nebula part of the story was devoid of interesting twists or moments.
