History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS5E13Gravity

** The Vulcan Master admits that the power of emotions frightens him. To deny this would be illogical.

** Tom Paris recalls his lengthy courtship of B'Elanna Torres.

** The Vulcan Master lists the emotions that an infatuated Tuvok is experiencing, just as Tuvok did for an infatuated Harry Kim in "Alter Ego". In fact this episode explains how Tuvok knew how to deal with feelings of unrequited love in the first place.

* FormerTeenRebel: As a teenager, Tuvok fell in love with a Terrellian female at his school who rejected his advances. As a result he rebelled against the Vulcan philosophy of logic and emotional control, and was banished to the care of a Vulcan Master.

* FutureSpandex: Noss' form-fitting black outfit really isn't suitable for a desert planet.

* HoldingHands: Tuvok holds Noss' hand as she steps onto the transporter pad.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The forcefield on Noss' crashed vessel still works, enabling her to hold off scavengers. Until the final act when they launch a determined assault using photonic charges.

* TheMatchmaker: Tom Paris, as lampshaded by Tuvok who does not appreciate his efforts.

* {{Omniglot}}: The Doctor can speak to Noss in her language because the Universal Translator is part of his program.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: ''Voyager'' only has a day to rescue their crewmembers before another alien race closes the sinkhole to prevent other ships being pulled in. By the time they're ready, the aliens have decided to go ahead of schedule, which gives them only 50 minutes. As they count down the last few seconds to transport, Tuvok has to race out and rescue Noss who's trying to repair the forcefield in the face of an assault of scavengers trying to breach her ship. Because of the YearInsideHourOutside time dilation, they have to fend off an attack for the better part of an afternoon while Voyager takes just a few minutes.

-->'''PARIS:''' Tuvok, everyone feels a little insane when they fall in love, but it's worth the risk.
-->'''TUVOK:''' For you, perhaps. But I am Vulcan. My natural emotions are erratic, volatile. If I don't control them, they will control me.

-->'''VULCAN MASTER:''' You wish to be taught?\\
'''YOUNG TUVOK:''' I would question everything you say.\\
'''VULCAN MASTER:''' You would not be a worthy pupil otherwise.

-->'''NOSS:''' Logic! I hate logic!
-->'''TUVOK:''' Your emotions will only exacerbate the situation.
-->'''NOSS:''' ''Shevrot kat!''
-->'''TUVOK:''' Insulting me will not help.

-->'''PARIS:''' I don't know what's worse. Catching them or eating them.
