Renaissance Man

On their way back to Voyager, Janeway and the Doctor are captured by Zet and Nar, two renegades from the Hierarchy. To keep Janeway alive, the Doctor must return to Voyager and steal its warp core for them. Using a holo-emitter to disguise himself, he impersonates Janeway, inventing a crisis to explain his strange orders. Meanwhile Janeway works quietly on Nar, the more uneasy of the two captors. Tuvok uncovers the deception, but the Doctor escapes with the warp core. He has hidden a coded message in a musical recording, which Seven deciphers, and Tuvok and Tom give chase. In the standoff, Nar turns against the reckless Zet and helps the Doctor. The warp core is recovered, but the Hierarchy's alterations destabilise the Doctor's program. In his confusion he blurts out a string of personal confessions to his crewmates, then has to live with them once B'Elanna repairs him.
