I want to preface this with the fact that I enjoyed Stardust City Rag, and I know I'm in the minority there. To that point I was looking forward to this episode because it is very similar, except with significantly fewer lost eyeballs.
Like SCR, this was absolutely the weakest of the season thus far. That doesn't mean it was terrible as this season is still an improvement from the last. Agnes is just fantastic this season (still a weird concept for me), Picard's pep talk was a highlight for me personally as someone who's struggled with anxiety and depression before, but Soong hitting him with his Tesla was just plain stupid.
The twist at the end was decent, but I'm really tired of Q having nothing to do. With the Renee storyline seemingly over it seems overall like whole act one went out with a bang, act two went out with a whimper.
