The context is important, but all that needs to be said is that she is a main character that died in the first season. It’s actually the firsted episode with Tasha that I saw when Istarted TNG and how I’ve introduced others to the show. There’s no details needed, no history, just the knowledge that she is dead.
Beyond Tasha, I’d say there’s a lot of nuance in Yesterday’s Enterprise that calls for more context. You can’t know how wrong the wartime setting feels if you have basically no exposure to the uncorrupted timeline. A new viewer can certainly get by, but it’s a much better episode if you have some experience with the show already.
