History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS5E9ThirtyDays

* FemmeFatale / TricksterTwins: Demonica and Malicia, the Twin Mistresses of Evil, are the Delaney sisters' ''attempt'' at this. Our first sign that Demonica and Malicia aren't holodeck characters is when Megan says, "Sorry, Harry!" after missing her cue. Harry can't help enthusing, "Great, you're doing great!" while the Delaney sisters are caressing his chest and purring how they're going to turn him into their groveling slave.

* BreakingCharacter: Our first sign that Demonica and Malicia aren't holodeck characters is when Megan says, "Sorry, Harry!" after missing her cue. Harry can't help enthusing, "Great, you're doing great!" while the Delaney Sisters are caressing his chest and purring how they're going to turn him into their grovelling slave.

* DownerEnding: Unless the Moneans make radical changes to their technology in the next few months, their planet and entire way of life is doomed within the next five years.

* FemmeFatale / TricksterTwins: Demonica and Malicia, the Twin Mistresses of Evil.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Tom

* SingleBiomePlanet: ''Voyager'' comes across an ocean world with no landmass whatsoever. In its center is a machine created by {{Precursors}}, that stops the water from dissipating out into space.

* SeaMonster: A giant electric eel with teeth attacks the ''Delta Flyer''.

* PolarOppositeTwins: Tom is bemused that Harry cares which Delaney sister takes a fancy to him.

* ShowWithinAShow: Yet another exciting chapter of...''Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton''!

* ShowWithinAShow: Yet another exciting chapter of...''Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton''.

* BlatantLies: Tom starts doing push-ups in his cell. He's only got to three when Neelix enters, whereupon he immediately jumps to 98...99...100.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Janeway sentences Tom to thirty days of solitary confinement with only basic nutrition and almost nothing to do, something that many cultures would consider a form of torture. What's make this more confusing is that [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS1E9PrimeFactors Torres and Tuvok have also gone against Janeway's orders and the Prime Directive]], and almost destroyed the ship in the process, but were only given a verbal warning. Or worse, there was the time [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E16Meld Crewman Suder murdered a man for just for looking at him]] and Janeway had him put under house arrest in his quarters and allowed him a variety of activities to spend his time on.

Harry can't help enthusing, "Great, you're doing great!" while the Delaney Sisters are caressing his chest and purring how they're going to [[FetishFuel turn him into their grovelling slave]].

* MindProbe: The Brain Probe, though it's more of a MindControlDevice given the FetishFuel description.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Captain Janeway drops the TeamMom act the moment Tom disobeys orders. She makes it clear that she would have destroyed his shuttle if required.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Debatable -- Captain Janeway might violate the [[AlienNonInterferenceClause Prime Directive]], but that's her prerogative as TheCaptain, not Tom's.

* BreakingCharacter: Our first sign that Demonica and Malicia aren't holodeck characters is when Megan says, "Sorry, Harry" after missing her cue. Harry can't help enthusing, "Great, you're doing great!" while the Delaney Sisters are caressing his chest and purring how they're going to [[FetishFuel turn him into their grovelling slave]].

* AttackHello: The first thing the Moneans do is fire upon ''Voyager'', which [[CurbStompBattle casually knocks out their weapon systems]], causing them to try communication instead.

* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Tom anticipates his father's reaction to him starting the letter by saying he's fired. "Wait! Just listen; don't turn this off..."

* InMediasRes: A non-action variety: the episode starts us off with TheHook, as demotions are rare in the franchise. About five minutes in is where the story chronologically begins.

* AccidentalInnuendo: While playing on the holodeck with [[TwinThreesomeFantasy two gorgeous twins]] Harry says, "Don't worry about me, [[ADateWithRosiePalms I can handle myself!]]" Not with your arms chained you won't.

* AppliedPhlebotinum: 'Immersion shielding' is used to turn the ''Delta Flyer'' into a deep-sea submersible.

* CommLinks: Proton has a wrist radio.
* ContinuityNod: Megans mentions working on some star charts for Seven of Nine, a reference to the twins working in Stellar Cartography.

* DescriptionCut: Tom says that it all began with something his FantasyForbiddingFather would consider a ''complete'' waste of time. Cut to Tom as ''[[ShowWithinAShow Captain Proton!]]''

* MindProbe: The Brain Probe, though it's more of a MindControlDevice given the FetishFuel description.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Tom Paris screws the Prime Directive to try to save an ocean planet that was slowly being destroyed by an oxygen-mining operation. He gets a demotion and thirty days in the brig for his effort. And he didn't even save the planet.

* VoiceoverLetter: Tom is dictating the letter to his PADD, producing the same effect.

* HowWeGotHere
* {{Hypocrite}}: Debatable -- Captain Janeway might violate the [[AlienNonInterferenceClause Prime Directive]], but that's her perogative as TheCaptain, not Tom's.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Tom gets a lot of visitors for a guy sentenced to solitary confinement. He even has a guard stationed just outside his cell. Especially weird since the real-world purpose of causing a person to go mad from the isolation is openly and smugly referenced by the Doctor.
