In trying to run down why his memory is malfunctioning, he goes to "Seven" for help reconstructing what had to have been there. What bothers him is his inability to remember it. He's not shocked to learn that Harry Kim has had major surgery, or that he was the only one who could have performed it. This is all revealed when the doctor attempts to come up with a "per-diagnostic" tool, allowing him to establish a baseline health standard for every crew member. At first, the story has us believe that the doctor has detected a possible intruder, but the doctor decides to do a little detective work on his own, and discovers that the entire crew is conspiring against him. It's worth a watch, and the Doctor is always fun, but he has better episodes - and worse worth a watch.
And the aliens who injured Kim and the ensign just appeared out of nowhere and disappeared into nowhere, a cheap deus ex machine effect. Surely Federation programmers of the 24th century have heard of fuzzy logic? Surely Janeway would have realized to begin with that she can reprogram the Doctor any time, and it's worth giving him a chance while closely monitoring him to see if he recuperates the third time around. I rate this somewhat lower than many users because the situation is a bit forced. But he tracks down the erasure, and is in danger of going nuts yet again as he relives the whole incident. He goes nuts over his decision, and Janeway decides to erase his memories of the event to keep him functional. Picardo had to make a life-and-death decision between an ensign he barely knows, and Kim. Even though she only had a small part at the start of the episode Scarlett Pomers was delightful as Naomi Wildman the most realistic child in any Star Trek series.Ī good but not great episode, in which the Doctor's programming is faced with a conundrum humans face every day: deciding between two equally bad choices, and not blaming ourselves for it afterward. It also gave Kate Mulgrew an opportunity to portray her character in a slightly less favourable light than usual. Robert Picardo gets an opportunity to show off a greater acting range as the Doctor starts to get understandably paranoid and break down. As he learns this the problem returns and Janeway wants to repeat the procedure although the Doctor objects, as does Seven who believes it would be hypocritical to treat him in such a way when living crew members would be helped through the problem. It emerges that she had his memories deleted after he had a breakdown following a medical decision which led to the death of the crew member who featured in the photographs. he is shocked to find that it was Captain Janeway. When he returns his memory has been tampered with but the back up automatically reloads and he looks to see who was responsible. Fearing his memory will be deleted again he backs it up and sets his camera to take a picture of whoever enter sick bay while he is off line. As seven tries to retrieve his memories and pictures he took at the time which were also deleted the find images of a crew member the Doctor doesn't recognise and an alien of an unrecognised species. He seeks the help of Seven of Nine but when she comes to sickbay he has no knowledge of requesting her help suggesting whoever deleted his memory is still aboard. The Doctor comes to believe that the crew must have had its memories of some event erased. In this superior episode of Voyager the Doctor discovers that he has performed major surgery on Harry Kim but has no memory of it and when asked Harry claims to have no memory of it either.
