Storyline
A "spatial scission" causes Voyager to be duplicated. One of the Voyagers is under heavy attack from the Vidiians while the other remains impervious. Both Captain Janeways work together and agree to sacrifice one ship to save the other. Before self-sacrifice, the doomed Voyager sends it's version of Ensign Kim and newborn Naomi Wildman to the other ship to replace the Kim that was killed in the attack and the baby who died from complications shortly after birth.

Goofs
Janeway mentions that she heard about a similar experimental duplication in the academy, but scientist could duplicate only matter, not antimatter. B'Elanna completes, that in this case the antimatter in the warp core is not duplicated, so the problem is that both ships try to gain power from the same warp core antimatter. It is known that Voyager's self destruct mechanism actually overloads the warp core. So in case of self destruct, both ships should have been destroyed because of the shared warp core.

Captain Kathryn Janeway:
Voyager isn't exactly anyone's idea of a nursery. And the Delta Quadrant isn't much of a playground.
Commander Chakotay:
My father had a saying, Captain: 'Home is wherever you happen to be.'

If you love dead babies, boy have I got an episode for you!
A "spatial scission" causes Voyager to be duplicated. The crew of each ship- involved in two separate realities- must work together to restore one Voyager to life... while destroying the other.
A decent premise but played far too darkly for me... instead of being able to enjoy the wonderful madness of the two-ship storyline we have infants dying and humorless conversations between the two Captains about the necessity of self-destruction.
Was I the only person who desperately wanted to see the two Janeways kiss in the scene they shared together? A little make-out session is a perfect way to wait out the self-destruct countdown... at the very least it's more fun than this episode...
