Shari yn Yem may have had selfish intentions, but the crew has still grown from their experience. Freeman and the rest of the senior staff find the ensigns in the Mess and present them with a gift: a replicator that they have supplied with the the food recipes normally reserved for senior officers. If they're all going to face the same dangers together, they they deserve to all share the same benefits as well.

According to the scoreboard, most of the crew isn't faring much better. Mariner's next test is to survive in a 19th-century Wild West-style frontier town. The audience doesn't even get the opportunity to tell which episode this one is based on, because Mariner fails 30 seconds in when the horse she mounts bucks her off and tramples her to "death".

* PlanetOfHats: The simulated Borg Queen insists on assimilating Bradward, even after finding out that he's just a [[PunyHumans puny human]] with a host of medical conditions and allergies, because assimilating people is "kind of our thing".

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Everybody except [[ButtMonkey Boimler]] anyway. At the end of the episode when he eagerly asks if the new replicator makes the lobster mac and cheese with the breaded top, Shaxs jokes that it sounds like the one thing the Borg left Boimler was his appetite. Everyone laughs at this, while Boimler sadly laments "they took everything that I was".

* WrongGenreSavvy: Mariner and Freeman come to the conclusion Shari's drills were to teach them and everyone else a lesson about appreciating their respective experiences about lower decks vs. officers. Only for Shari to laugh maniacally and explain her real plan -- to fail the whole ship so she can keep her job.

** Mariner fails her first test because she gives the Terran salute with her left hand, while the program's fictional mirror Mariner is right-handed. It is safe to assume that the holodeck wouldn't deviate from Mariner's template like this without being specifically directed to and, more to the point, the change is completely arbitrary and unfair as a test of ability, hinting at Shari's sabotage.

* BreakTheMotivationalSpeaker: To make Shari reverse her rigging and pass the crew, they torment her by getting up close to a Crystalline Entity and then a black hole.
