History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS2E12Resistance

Janeway learns from Caylem about the prison where her crew are likely held. Caylem agrees to help her, still believing that she's his daughter Ralkana, on the grounds that they can rescue his wife, Ralkana's mother. She leads them to a member of the local resistance, who almost gets arrested by Augris, but Caylem manages to distract everyone by putting on a performance of a simple-minded fool. Janeway gets the lowdown of the prison and arranges for the purchase of weapons, but the weapons dealer is [[ImposterForgotOneDetail wearing shiny military boots]], so Janeway suspects and trap and ditches the meeting. Along the way, she learns that Caylem is shamed by the fact that his cowardice got his wife captured in the first place.

* ShowSomeLeg: Janeway posing as a hooker! She does it literally too [[FanService thanks to a nice slit in her dress]].

* EvilOverlordList: The fake contact violates Rule 104 by wearing military boots. [[FridgeBrilliance Presumably he had to change in a hurry]] if information on the rendezvous had been obtained from an interrogation just a short time before.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Third Magistrate Augris

Janeway, Neelix, Torres and Tuvok are in a marketplace undercover to purchase some much-needed terrerium to keep their warp engines running. However, goons from the local dictatorship, the Mokra Order, crash the deal. In the ensuing phaserfight, Tuvok and Torres are captured and Janeway is injured. Before Janeway can be taken captive, she's rescued by a local man, Caylem. Janeway wakes up in the home of Caylem, who delusionally mistakes her for his daughter.

On the ship, Kim comes up with a solution to bypass the prison's shields, but the plan fails, and the Mokra give Chakotay two minutes to leave before they'll open fire. Paris volunteers to beam down for a last-ditch rescue mission. Meanwhile, Janeway infiltrates the prison by dressing as an escort and manages to knock the shields down, freeing Tuvok and Torres from their cells. Before the regrouped party can escape, Augris appears with goons and holds them at phaserpoint. He mocks Caylem with the fact that the man knows his wife and daughter are DeadAllAlong. In a rage, Caylem fights back, allowing the rest of the group to overpower the guards. Caylem and Augris both get morally wounded, but before Caylem dies, Janeway tells him that she's his daughter and that [[LetThemDieHappy both she and his wife are safe]].

He mocks Caylem for again trying to rescue his wife, dead these last 12 years, and says that his daughter is also dead.

Caylem and Augris both get morally wounded, but before Caylem dies, Janeway tells him that she's his daughter and that both she and his wife are safe.

* ChangedMyJumper: Averted; Voyager's crew are in local dress in an effort to remain inconspicuous. Despite the xenophobia of the ruling Mokra we do see other aliens on the planet, so they don't stand out.

* TapOnTheHead: Averted; Janeway is visible pain for some time after waking up.

B'elanna and Tuvok are captured by an alien dictatorship, while Janeway is mistaken for a man's long-lost daughter.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: In "Prime Factors", Captain Janeway had refused to make a secret deal to get the technology they could have used to shorten their journey home. Now with Voyager on the verge of breaking down, and the only replacement [[MacGuffin tellerium]] on a planet ruled by a xenophobic dictatorship, Starfleet protocol goes out the window.

-->'''Augris:''' I must say I'm impressed, Caylem. You never made it this far before. Every so often he goes on one of his missions to rescue his wife. [[TheReveal She's been dead for twelve years.]]

* WeNeedADistraction: When Augris is about to take away the resistance leader for questioning, Caylem plays up his lunatic image to provide a distraction. Later Janeway overloads a security panel to disrupt the shields, knowing that Voyager will be waiting in orbit.

* TheReveal: Caylem's wife and daughter are both dead.

* EvilOverlordList: The fake contact violates Rule 104 by wearing military boots. Presumably he had to change in a hurry as information on the rendezvous had been obtained from an interrogation just a short time before.

* NoOSHACompliance: The prison cell has overhead pipes and a ladder that any inmate could use to hang themselves. Maybe the Mokra don't care, but these prisoners are still being interrogated.

B'elanna and Tuvok are captured by an aggressive alien race, while Janeway is mistaken for a man's long-lost daughter.

* ChekhovsGun: The prostitutes seen in the marketplace; Janeway poses as one to infiltrate the prison. Caylem takes a dagger off a dead guard, then uses it to stab Augris.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4MqCWfZ22g trailer]] is nothing like the final episode, as per usual for VOY.

* BlueOneRedOni: B'Elanna and Tuvok in the same cell.

* ChekhovsGun: The prostitutes seen in the marketplace; Janeway poses as one to infiltrate the prison. Caylem takes a dagger off a dead guard, then uses it to stab Augris.

* ReversePolarity: The ever-handy deflector dish is used to TechnoBabble a way past the Mokra detection grid. Subverted when it's a NoSell.

* ChekhovsGun: The prostitutes seen in the marketplace; Janeway poses as one to infiltrate the prison. She uses the necklace Caylem gave her to buy weapons. Caylem takes a dagger off a dead guard, then uses it to stab Augris.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The guards in the tunnels are bored, so when Janeway comes along dressed as an hooker despite her being an offworlder, they're willing to walk off into a dark area and get clobbered from behind by Caylem.

* LetThemDieHappy: Janeway tells a dying Caylem that she is his daughter, his wife has been rescued and they both forgive him.

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Paris takes charge of the rescue 30 seconds before Voyager might need his piloting skills to get away from Mokra space.

-->'''Caylem:''' Lies! Lies! Lies!

* NoSell: Harry Kim works out a way past the detection grid and Chakotay is ready to charge down for a BigDamnHeroes. The moment they start, a precision blast from the surface knocks out their deflection dish, and Augris orders them to get away from their planet or be destroyed by the [[NoKillLikeOverkill 85 phased ion cannons targeted at Voyager]].

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: InUniverse; Voyager gets a polite greeting from the Third Magistrate. Neelix is immediately skeptical.

* ReversePolarity: The ever-handy deflector dish is used to TechnoBabble a way past the Mokra detection grid.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: When Janeway tries to get the resistance to help her free her people, their leader points out that if that were possible, his priority would be to rescue his own people first. He only agrees to provide weapons in exchange for payment.

* ShowSomeLeg: Janeway posing as a hooker! She does it literally too, [[FanService thanks to a nice slit in her dress]].
