Dolby asks Tuvok why he went back for Garen. Tuvok said he had learned from them that occasionally rules needed to be bent for a greater good. Their bonding moment thus established by a near-death experience, life on board returns to normal, and the season ends. This was a very funny episode, full of attitude and absurd but at least semi-believable plot complications. On a 0-10 scale, I'd give this a 7.25.
Effective humor covers a multitude of sins.
