* CruelTwistEnding: Cadet Bree Tristan wasn't being turned into an alien, she was being turned back into one.
to:
* BigNo: Creator/RobertPatrick delivers one at the end.
* BitByBitTransformation: Major John Skokes has been captured by aliens. He meets another captive, who is being subjected to numerous surgeries to gradually change her body into that of the aliens. Turns out she was actually an alien spy being reverted out of her human disguise, [[CruelTwistEnding all the while playing on his sympathies to gain information.]]
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Downplayed. The male members of the hostile alien species are much larger than an ordinary human; the female members are a lot smaller. Which makes it more surprising when Cadet Bree Tristan turns out to be one of them.
* BottleEpisode: This episode takes place almost entirely in a prison cell.
* CruelTwistEnding: Cadet Bree Tristan wasn't being turned into an alien, she was being turned back intoone.one.
* CuteMonsterGirl: A captured SpaceCadet, Bree Tristan, is being forcibly transformed by her alien captors into one of their own against her will. The slow alterations they implement don't change her outward beauty much, and her cellmate, Major John Skokes, falls in love with her. This was part of their plan all along, since she's actually one of the aliens sent to spy on him to obtain valuable military information.
* FalseInnocenceTrick: Major Skokes and Cadet Bree Tristan are held prisoner on an alien world. She is taken for more experiments and wants just to die. At the climax, we find Tristan is really an alien spy -- and Skokes just told the aliens humanity's battle plans.
* POWCamp: Major John Skokes is captured by the aliens with whom humanity is fighting a losing war and is sent to a POW camp on a moon or asteroid. He shares a cell with Cadet Bree Tristan.
* SpaceCadet: Bree Tristan tells Major John Skokes that she is a cadet 2nd class who was assigned to [[UsefulNotes/TheMoonsOfJupiter Europa base]] and that she was captured by the aliens while on a training mission with her instructor Commander Hartley. In the final scene, it is revealed that Tristan is in fact an alien in disguise. It is not made clear whether Tristan was a real person whose identity the alien assumed or whether she was merely a creation of the aliens.
* TheyLookLikeUsNow: The nine foot tall, eight hundred pound Reptilian monsters with whom humanity fights a losing war manage to pull this off by surgically-altering their (much smaller) females.
* TransformationHorror: During a future space war, Cadet Bree Tristan is locked up with Major John Skokes from another division when they're both captured by the aliens. The aliens start to transform her into one of them so they recruit her and use whatever useful knowledge she possesses, and her body gradually mutates further. Until the ending reveals that they're changing her ''back'', and she was sent to spy on the Major so that he'd reveal the location of their forces.
