Storyline
As Voyager prepares to cross a treacherous expanse of which Neelix knows absolutely nothing, Neelix runs across an old friend (of dubious trust) - fellow Telaxian "Wix" - at a trading outpost. As Neelix seeks a map of the expanse, Wix soon involves him in criminal dealings that put Chakotay and Paris wrongfully behind bars. Neelix seeks to right his wrongs, even though his grievous actions have likely cost him continued passage aboard Voyager. Written by statmanjeff

Trivia
The space station set in this episode was a redress of the Akritirian maximum security detention facility from Star Trek: Voyager: The Chute (1996). See more »Goofs
Just past the midpoint of the episode, Tuvok asks Neelix to accompany him when he goes to question Wixiban, so that Neelix can judge "the verisimilitude of his answers." "Verisimilitude" is the appearance of truth. Tuvok would have said the "veracity" of his answers, the actual truth. See more »Quotes

odd see Vorik for first time Neelix worried his usefulness is over on ship
Despite being on Voyager for a long time, Mr. Neelix is apparently very insecure and worried that now that the ship is about to enter into space about which he's totally unfamiliar, they'll no longer want him*. So he decides that the proper course of action is to make himself invaluable by learning some important skills needed on the ship. This proves to be a waste of time (after all he IS Neelix) and so his plan is to buy a map of the upcoming portion of space where the ship is headed....but it ends up leading to LOTS of complications when Neelix relies on an old friend to help him get the map.
This episode is odd because Mr. Vorik, the Vulcan, is seen for the first time. So you are expected to believe that after three seasons you just haven't seen him before. Yeah, right. Despite this, the episode is interesting and is worth seeing.
*I never liked Neelix very much. Aside from him killing a traitorous crewman, he mostly is just rather annoying. It's just my opinion.
