Warning: Spoilers
This entertaining episode opens with Janeway and Tuvok purchasing ore at a mining colony which they say is to be used to help orphans at a contaminated colony, this seems the sort of thing Star Fleet officers would do except that these two characters aren't the Janeway and Tuvok we know but alien con artists who are trading on Voyager's good name. It turns out that Tom and Neelix were conned by the same two people who were posing as members of a religious order, while aboard the Delta Flyer they downloaded the database and decided to use in information in future cons. Having met some of the con artists' victims the real Janeway must convince them that Voyager wasn't responsible and with the victims' help they search for the imposters. When they catch up with them they are caught in the tractor beam of another dissatisfied customer. As they flee Voyager manages to capture their "Janeway" and Neelix tries to talk her into returning the stolen items, however she overpowers him and steals the Delta Flyer, she doesn't realise however that this was expected and only serves to help the capture of all three imposters.

This episode was fairly entertaining, a particularly liked seeing how the imposters started to act more and more like their Voyager counterparts, it was especially entertaining in the case of their Tuvok. The story itself was fairly light weight but that isn't a bad thing.
