Stardate 49373.4: When Crewman Darwin turns up dead all signs point to Crewman Suder, a former Maquis and a Betazoid, as the murderer. Darwin even confesses, but when Janeway is loathe to either imprison him for life or execute him, Tuvok tries to rehabilitate him using the Vulcan mind meld. But entering the mind of Suder means that the murderer also enters Tuvok's mind.

Guest Cast: Brad Dourif (Crewman Suder), Angela Dohrmann (Ricky), Simon Billig (Crewman Jones), Majel Barret (Computer Voice)
