Away from Voyager, a Bajoran is chanting incantations and looking at a computer screen with images of Tuvok, Torres, and Chakotay. Back on Voyager, Tom and B’Elanna are heading for the holodeck eating popcorn and donning 3-d glasses to watch a 1950s B-movie. When the audience shushes B’Elanna, she suggests that they remove the audience and make it more romantic. But one audience member remains in the front row: an unconscious ensign. Subsequent investigations by Tuvok reveal he has been attacked. Similar attacks continue to happen to other crewmembers. All the attacks are on the former Maquis. Tuvok is confused by the cases; he cannot solve them, yet he seems to know who did them. Eventually, through meditation, he realizes his mind is being tampered with by a program implanted by a radical Bajoran vedec who was thrown out of the Maquis for performing mind experiments. Tuvok’s realization does not free him of the problem, and he is able to continue his plan, which awakens similar feelings in all of the former Maquis. Led by Chakotay, they take over the ship, and soon are wearing those cool leather uniforms again. But Tuvok is able to once again regain control of his mind and to mind meld with Chakotay to bring him back. Together, they squelch the rebellion and return the ship to Janeway. Back to normal, the entire crew joins together to watch the 3-D movie.
It’s just another impotent Chakotay episode, where he must be rescued from himself by Tuvok.
