This episode manages to be an interesting look into who people are after they lose their memories and if they would want to go back to their old lives if they can. I was kinda disappointed they didn't make this episode more about Tuvok. It seems like the problems of a Vulcan unable to restrain his emotions are more interesting than all the internal politics of the work planet, but I guess they went that way instead. I don't hate the investigation that Seven conducted, but it seemed like almost an after thought compared to how much time we spend with Janeway. The issues with Harry and the Doctor don't really get resolved. Sure, they work together, but in the end they are right where they started with the Doctor thinking Harry is terrible in command and Harry thinking the Doctor is a bit of a pompous ass. I guess the problem is they are both right.
We open with Chakotay escaping his pursuers but getting injured in the process. Voyager too is damaged and can't return for him so he flees to Tom's bar where he runs into Janeway. He is forced to disappear again when investigators show up but he learned Janeway is moving in with Jaffen so he heads to her old quarters. She finds him there with a gun but agrees to help him with his injuries after he explains what happened. Seven meanwhile has started her own investigation into what happened with Tuvok as she has regained at least some of her memories. On Voyager B'Elanna's recovery is going slowing but she has accepted that she lost her memories which is making things easier on her. Jaffen learns about Chakotay from Janeway and sends guards to arrest him. But the investigator in that case is shocked when Chakotay is taken from him to be treated in a medical facility. That guy starts working with Seven. In the hospital they find the communicator implant and signal Voyager to meet who they think will be Chakotay. I admit all the aliens with bland brown uniforms got a little confusing for me, but eventually Janeway convinces Jaffen to help her lower the shields on the facility and the crew are beamed out. Her memory restored Janeway has a touching good bye with Jaffen.
Review: Other than getting a little confused about who was who on the alien planet this was a fun episode. It is almost like having character where uniforms of colors that tell you their job makes it easier for the audience.
