One of the only spots of color in this whole episodeįavorite Scenes: Most of the scenes that have Spock and Picard conversing are interesting to watch, but there’s an exchange between Spock and Data I really like. Plot B is less interesting and only seems to exist to give the rest of the crew something to do, and they don’t even get to solve their own mystery! Plot A is sufficiently good to hold our interest, but there’s no real tension and slim pickings in the way of memorable scenes. As you may expect, the Romulans lose and the good guys win. It involves three Vulcan ships carrying 2,000 Romulans–essentially a Trojan Horse, which is the trail that Riker and the Enterprise have been following. Spock meets with the proconsul, who seems unbelievably eager to help, but after Spock leaves guess who literally comes out of the closet? Sela! Turns out it’s a trap, there’s a traitor in their midst, and everything has been an elaborate ruse for the Romulan invasion of Vulcan. Plot A is about the potential reunification, plot B involves Riker and company. He again asks Picard to leave as he is unwilling to risk anyone else, given what happened when he got Kirk involved in Klingon peace talks decades ago, but Picard refuses. Spock lays out why he’s on Romulus: there’s a new Romulan proconsul who is sympathetic toward the concept of reunification of the Vulcans and Romulans as one people. Picard counters, saying he’s not going anywhere and accuses Spock of “cowboy diplomacy”: trying to do everything himself, instead of through the proper channels. Plot A and B Analysis: After a 90-second recap of part one, we get our very informative teaser. While Spock works to achieve his goal, powers within the Romulan government seek to pervert his mission into an invasion of Vulcan. Plot Synopsis: On Romulus Picard and Data meet with Spock, who claims to be trying to reunite the Romulans and Vulcans.
