Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe interior cockpit of Kovin's ship was a reuse of the cockpit from the Timeship Aeon, which appears in Future's End (1996)/Future's End: Part II (1996).
- GoofsWhen Kovin said they reported the accident immediately, Captain Janeway doesn't look at the accident report nor do they attempt to have Seven identify the other assistant in the lab where she was "held."
- Quotes
The Doctor: I often find my own patience being tested by someone like Mr. Kovin. Of course I generally respond with a devastating quip rather than a left hook.

Featured review
A surprisingly bold treatment of he-said, she-said
Enjoyable escapism? No, it's far too sincere.
Particularly well written? Not really, the characterisation is all over the place.
A satisfying resolution? Quite the opposite, it's very frustrating.
But that's why I enjoyed this episode a lot more than I thought I would from the bare premise. Because it tackles the issue of "my truth" head on, neither confirming nor denying that we should #BelieveHer.
And that's exactly the problem with any accusation of any unwitnessed crime based on two people's conflicting stories. There is no magical solution, no mind meld, no see-the-past machine.
Just flip the coin, and destroy at least one reputation, or at least one life, if not two.
Don't wander off alone with a stranger, and don't close the door. What a curiously mature and unexpected conclusion.
