2.12 meld

A crewman is found dead; the unrepentant, violent person responsible, Suter, is an enigma to security officer Tuvok. His desire for a logical motive and to help the murderer leads him to mind meld with Suter. The meld changes Suter for the best, as he now can begin to control his violence. However, it unleashes the violent side of Tuvok, who trashes his quarters and fights against the desire to personally execute Suter for his crimes.

It’s great to see Tuvok finally able to show some emotion, in a sick bay scene in which his emotional suppressants have been removed as part of his therapy. He is angry, vengeful, and very sarcastic – that sarcastic side sometimes even leaks out when he is in control, you may remember.
