History Recap / StarTrekPicardS3E07Dominion

** The ''Titan'' hides in a DerelictGraveyard in the Chintoka System, one of the battlegrounds of [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine the Dominion War]].
** The events of [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E7InfiniteRegress "Infinite Regress"]] are mentioned as part of Seven's TrustPassword with Tuvok (and ultimately help expose him as a Changeling).

* DownerEnding: The ''Titan'' plan to entrap Vadic fails thanks to Lore, leading to her and her Changelings successfully seizing control of the ''Titan'' and in a position to finally capture Jack.
* FateWorseThanDeath: "Tuvok"'s gloating promise to Seven after she demands to know if the real Tuvok is still alive.
-->'''Tuvok Chaneling''': All I can tell you is...when we ''are'' done with [the real Tuvok]...when we are done with all of you...death will come as a relief.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Again, from the perspective of the Data copy inside the Golem, it's still [[Film/StarTrekNemesis 2379]].

* TrustPassword: Double subverted. Seven mentions her games of kal-toh with Tuvok, and he accurately notes she beat him numerous times. Then she suggests Aklion 7 as a meeting point, citing it as the place where she had her neural patferns stabilized. He fails that check because he doesn't consider the anti-Kolinar protests held there, and the event she speaks of happened on ''Voyager'' with Tuvok's help.

* AmbiguousSituation: It's left unclear when specifically Tuvok was replaced by the rogue Changelings. It's implied to be at least several months if his comment about not speaking with Janeway for some time ''was'' truthful (which makes sense as, given their longtime friendship, Janeway could spot any inconsistencies). However, he also fails the second TrustPassword, but knew at least enough basic knowledge to pass the firs. This suggests Tuvok may have been a rush job once they realized Seven and the ''Titan'' were now involved against them -- and thus Seven would inevitably seek out her old crew for help.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Averted initially. Seven finally seeking out Tuvok for help in locating Riker (and to finally get through to Janeway and alert her). However, it then gets played straight once it's revealed he's a Changeling. It's too risky to reach out to anyone else given how close "Tuvok" came to tracing their signal. And if the Founders had enough prescience to replace Tuvok, they can't trust any of the ''Voyager'' veterans.

* BadBoss: Vadic's superior is now resorting to [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing her]] over "conference" call for failing to find Jack. His dialogue also implies that he's ''not'' a Changeling and he's a GreaterScopeVillain that hasn't been revealed yet.

* {{Telepathy}}: Jack can hear Sydney's thoughts. It's how he can tell that she's developed a budding interest in him, and it later lets him guide her in combat against Vadic's {{mooks}}.

* TakeThat: An in-universe variation with Vadic. Her humanoid form is intentionally modeled on the Section 31 operative who tortured her -- and who they murdered -- as her private ''fuck you'' and reminder of her hate.

* TrustPassword: Double subverted. Seven mentions her games of kal-toh with Tuvok, and he accurately notes she beat him numerous times. Then she suggests Aklion 7 as a meeting point, and he fails that check because he doesn't consider the anti-Kolinar protests held there.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Lore gaining control of the Data Golem derails the trap Picard and the ''Titan'' set for Vadic.

* RaceAgainstTime: The Changelings are also now racing against the clock to try and recover Jack before Frontier Day.

* {{RankUp}}: Tuvok has gone from Lt. Cmdr. to Captain in the decades since ''Voyager'' returned home to the Alpha Quadrant.

* OhCrap: This is Geordi's reaction upon realizing Lore's personality's now in control of the Data Golem.

* VillainHasAPoint: Vadic rightly points out to Picard and Beverley that Starfleet technically never gave the morphogenic virus cure to the Founders; the Federation Council did after all vote ''against'' giving them it to avoid aiding their wartime enemy. It was Bashir who stole it from Section 31, used it to cure Odo, and it was the Constable -- one of their own people -- who brought it home.

** What was believed to be Irumodic Syndrome in Picard and Jack is indicated to be something different -- and alien -- mistaken for that condition. This is at least party why Picard's corpse was stolen, to extract that thing from it, and Vadic's mysterious employer wants Jack alive for that reason.
