''Voyager'' detects a wormhole near a primitive planet, which is currently being exploited by a pair of Ferengi. It turns out to be the same wormhole that the Ferengi pair traveled through in ''The Next Generation'' episode "The Price", which was thought to be unstable, and so while ''Voyager'' tries to use the same wormhole to get back home, they also deal with the Ferengi on the planet they landed on.

* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Parodied to Hell and back, however, with a Bronze Age civilization venerating two Ferengi refugees as their sages (sort of ersatz deities) because their crash-landing's appearance was a lot like something prophesied in one of their sacred poems. All efforts to remove the Ferengi failed until the Voyager's crew realized the same poem ended with the appearance of certain easily-arranged celestial signs and the ascension of the sages back into the heavens, all of which could be arranged using some futuristic flares and transporter technology. Since technically this means every one of the prophecies came true, there was arguably nothing to outgrow about these people's "silly superstitions" at all!
