Picard is an outsider, who is facilitating the transfer of power in the Klingon empire.

Or an earlier episode which I cannot remember the name of?Reunion: An okay episode. I found it strange that the Klingon Chancellor entrusted Picard to facilitate the transfer of power, but took it to mean the Klingons were becoming more and more decadent (as in they were losing their society and culture, especially if they had to get an outsider to handle their affairs).
The earlier episode which you cannot recall the name of is, oddly enough, Reunion, the very episode which I was writing about above. The story continues in Redemption.
