Welcome to the Mokra homeworld where Joel Grey confuses Janeway with his daughter and she confuses herself with a prostitute. For some reason though, the prison guard she’s trying to distract falls for it. It must get very lonely in that prison, not too much soap on Mokra I’m guessing.
The episode started off well with the away team already in the middle of a tense mission. Quite why there were four of them on a mission that could compromise security and the Prime Directive is anyone's guess. Of course, it all goes wrong and Neelix, the only one who actually needs to be there, escapes.
So Tuvok and Torres are taken to the aforementioned prison and had some good scenes together but I seem to be saying that about Tuvok and most people.
The scenes with Grey and Mulgrew were mostly played right even if they were heavy handed when it came to the sentimentality. The scene with the melon hat (don't ask) comes to mind though as one where sublty went out the window, flew into space and travelled thousands of light years to a new quadrant.
For some reason Kim seemed a lot more serious in this episode and as a result wasn’t as annoying. Maybe he got out of bed the wrong side or he’s sulking about not staying in the alternate universe.
It was also nice to see another reference to people in the Delta Quadrant being suspicious of Voyager and it’s crew before they’ve even seen the ship.
