Voyager finds itself facing an unforeseen threat.
Tropes:
- Mythology Gag: Grom, the Lurian member of the Nova Squad, is scolded by his squadmate for chatting too much instead of concentrating on the training, but has never been heard uttering a single word since the beginning of the season. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a Running Gag was that Lurian Morn was incredibly chatty but never spoke onscreen.
- So Last Season: Thanks to an update in their systems, the Federation's systems are now impervious to the effects of the Living Construct.
- Wham Shot: The episode ends with Ascencia gloating over her prisoner... Wesley Crusher.
