Diana Troi awakes in the dark only to find herself in the midst of a Romulan ruse and on board a Warbird. Good thing she's an empath! The audience goes along for the ride as Diana feels out the Romulan Commander and learns to play the part of a Tal Shiar agent. On board the Enterprise a Federation defector to Romulus returns home setting in motion the events that will bring the two ships together. The stakes are high as both the defector and the Romulan that roped Troi into the plot are working for ambassador Spock and his dissident movement, a plot thread set up in Unification parts 1 & 2.
The part of the Romulan Commander is very well played as is the Federation defector. Marina Sirtis knocks it out of the park as well. Rewatchable.
Gaping plot hole: Troi doesn't speak Romulan. Universal translator aside, you'd think the Romulan commander would notice.
