A great episode, where the crew is forced by an assault with radiation to abandon ship. They seek help from a nearby planet where instead, their memories were selectively altered to make them happy with taking jobs in a society experiencing a work shortage. The Doctor remains behind in his new role of ECH, repairing the ship and worrying when his crew doesn't return as arranged. Of course, the ship was part of the commandeering plan and the attackers attempted to salvage it. The Doctor saved the ship by hiding in the nebula.
Chakotay, Kim and Neelix, out on a mission, return and embarked on a rescue mission after locating their people. Tuvok started to remember and managed to communicate this to Seven before breaking completely down and was hauled away for engramatic resequencing. Seven investigates further with the help of a law official.
Meanwhile, Janeway develops a romance with Jaffen (James Read) a nice fatherly type from a race that don't have fathers. This came out as a joke and story he told about a hostile encounter with a man who tried to insult his father. It was interesting to note a character that evidently breeds asexually, that is male and very sexually interested in Janeway. This would not be a usual combination. However, the plot and acting are up to the usual good standard of the Star Trek legacy.
