Voyager S4E20 — A body-swap palate cleanser that dark-mirrors the Killing Game's neural interfaces. Steth inhabits Paris's body and fails at every Voyager relationship — structure without depth. Frameworks: The Body as Cage, Counterfeit Belonging Performed vs. Earned ( .5 companion), Chakotay's Instinct (intuition that survives identity theft), The Carburetor as Homing Signal, Steth's exploitation of existing dissatisfaction.
Voyager S4E16 — The Hirogen hunt a wounded Species 8472 that only wants to go home. Three incompatible frames (hunt, compassion, tactical) collide, producing three different fates for the same dying creature. Frameworks: The Hunt as the Only Frame (single-lens hermeneutic failure), The Collision of Incompatible Frames, The Protagonist's Dilemma (Seven's Counterfeit Belonging crisis — §10.6 definitive case study), The Prey Narrative as Identity Imposition, The Nanoprobe Tether — Tool Neutrality, The Wounded Creature Test Case.
Voyager S3E20 — the Taresians weaponize Harry Kim's legitimate longing for significance. The fourth direction of refusal exits the triptych and becomes a quaternary.
