Plot

Captain Picard has been captured by the Cardassians and undergoes torture designed to break him and get him to reveal the Federations plans for figh- ting the Cardassians. Meanwhile, Jellico, in command of the Enterprise meets with resistance not only from the Cardassians but from Commander Riker as well. When Worf and Crusher returns to the Enterprise, Jellico states that he ain't gonna stage a rescue for Picard, instead is he determent to try and find out what the Cardassians are up to. Riker confronts him, and tries to convince Jellico to go after Picard, but Jellico simply releaves Riker of duty. However later on he finds out he need help form Riker anyway. One of the most powerful episodes of this season, it clearly displays the character of Captain Picard and his inner strength as well as the relations- hips between him and his crew. Patrick Stewart deserves an Emmy nomination for his performance in this episode, among others - he's certainly demon- strated his excellent acting ability.
