      Basically the plot of The Inner Light, one of the best episodes of television ever made. (That was sadly undermined by the need for a complete reset per the usual rules of episodic television of the time.)

        That episode makes me cry every time. Even the callback when he plays that flute in a later episode makes me teary eyed.

          when he plays that flute in a later episode

          I got teary just now reading the quote from that scene:

          “What kind of flute is that?”
          “It’s, ah…Ressikan.”
          “I’ve never seen one before.”
          “They’re not made anymore.”
