** Cadet Haro is the only Bolian in the franchise to be shown to have hair. The design was apparently not yet formalized (though this can still justified, an episode of ''[=DS9=]'' established that some Bolians where hairpieces to look attractive to other species). Which accidentally becomes FridgeBrilliance, in that Haro is not who she claims to be.

Added DiffLines:

* PlanetOfHats: Tholl's people are all collaborators who will instantly surrender to anyone threatening aggression. Esoqq's people are all anarchists who reject the very concepts of law and authority. Tholl and Esoqq were chosen for the experiment because they are perfect examples of their species' respective hats.

* KidnappedForExperimentation: Picard eventually deduces that he and the others were kidnapped for this reason. He's right, of course.

Cadet Haro is the only Bolian in the franchise to be shown to have hair. The design was apparently not yet formalized. Which accidentally becomes FridgeBrilliance, in that because of that design, Haro is not who she claims to be.be.
** Additionally, Haro is a Starfleet cadet whose uniform is a predominantly-black suit with the shoulders indicating which division she serves in, which would resemble the uniforms later featured on ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' and ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. TNG's fifth season episodes "The Game" and "The First Duty" show that all Starfleet cadets wear black uniforms with red shoulders, regardless of which division they serve in. Since Haro isn't who she seems, it's unclear if she was actually wearing the Starfleet Academy uniform used at the time.

In the holding cell, the captives discover that Esoqq cannot eat the food provided. They have only three or four days before he either starves to death or [[ImAHumanitarian eats one of them]]. Against the advice of Tholl, Picard has Haro tamper with the security panel of the door. The four captives all work together to open the door, but behind it is a solid blank wall. The other three captives degenerate into infighting, accusing each other of being spies for their captives.

The real Picard arrives in a holding cell with two other people: Starfleet engineering cadet Mitena Haro and pacifist philosopher Kova Thol. Soon a fourth prisoner arrives, the savage Esoqq of Chalna. Picard quickly takes charge and assesses their situation. Thol has been there the longest and has never seen their captors. A security panel on the only door is booby trapped to prevent interference. A station in the center of the room dispenses discs of synthesized food. All attempts to find some common connection between the four captives fail.

The other three captives degenerate into infighting, accusing each other of being spies for their captives.



In the holding cell, Picard has finally figured out what's going on. He deduces that the four captives are in a rat's maze designed to test their response to authority. Picard is a natural leader, Haro a natural follower, Thol a natural opportunist and Esoqq a natural anarchist. Further, he states that Haro knows classified information unavailable to a Starfleet cadet, so she must be an imposter. Haro transforms into three aliens who reveal that they have indeed been studying how other lifeforms resolve conflict because their species is a HiveMind and never have any disputes. The aliens agree to return their captives to their homes now that the experiment cannot continue.

* LesCollaborateurs: Kova Thol is from a race of cowards who are happy to be slaves to whoever invade them in order to survive--his planet has been invaded and conquered ''six times''. Likewise, Thol himself will switch allegiances at the drop of a hat to support whoever he thinks is in control of the situation.

* ImAHumanitarian: When Esoqq is revealed to be incapable of digesting the food units in the prison, he presents an acute threat when he threatens to eat the others (starting with Thol) if he begins to starve.
