Storyline
The Enterprise obliges a planet which acutely faces an original problem: the mysterious Ardra demands they honor a contract concluded 1,000 years ago, under the terms of which it now becomes entirely her property, with all inhabitants as her slaves and everything in orbit, as payment for her settling their ancestors' apparently hopeless problems then with war and environment decay. Picard is told she is known by many names in various systems, all frightening and almost almighty, but he refuses to believe she's the planet's version of The Devil, and decides to challenge her legal claim. Data finds under the planet's law the only possible way is by choosing an arbitrator- she proposes ever objective Data, who warns Picard he'll be impartial, and is accepted... Written by KGF Vissers

Trivia
First mention of Fek'lhr as being the "devil" in Klingon theology. Previously, in Star Trek: Day of the Dove, the Klingon commander Kang (Michael Ansara) tells Captain Kirk (William Shatner) that the Klingons "have no devil". See more »Quotes

ST:TNG:87 - "Devil's Due" (Stardate: 44474.5) - this is the 13th episode of the 4th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and fitting 13th since this episode is about the Devil in disguise.
It's about a mythic figure named Ardra who supposedly comes back after 1000 years of peace and prosperity which they were granted by her, in exchange for their own enslavement at the end of the period. Is she real or a fraud? That's up to Picard and crew to decide in this comical episode.
Trivia note: We see Data also continue his quest for humanity by playing Ebenezer Scrooge in a holodeck rendition of "A Christmas Carol" with Picard as teacher. Data deduces from this experience that he wants to follow the ways of the method actor! Also great music score for this episode.
