Body and Soul ( episode ) When the " Delta Flyer II " is attacked , The Doctor must hide his program in Seven ' s Borg implants . Meanwhile , Tuvok undergoes the " pon farr " . Summary . Teaser . Ensign Harry Kim is on an away mission with Seven of Nine , and The Doctor . They are aboard the " Delta Flyer II " . The mission is the study of biogenic material from a comet . As The Doctor analyzes the material , Kim pilots the vessel , assisted by Seven . The Doctor wearies Kim with his constant angry complaints about the bumpy ride , which he fears will damage the collected material ; Seven finds this amusing . But then , while he is in the " Flyer II " s laboratory with Seven , postulating on the miracle of life , the ship shudders harder than before . Kim informs them they are under attack . A Lokirrim patrol ship is seen chasing the " Flyer II " , firing at her . Act One . Kim hails the vessel and assures them of their peaceful intentions . They respond that he is carrying ' suspected photonic insurgents . ' Realizing they mean The Doctor , Kim assures them that the ' photonic ' they are detecting is only their ship ' s CMO . Their response is to disable the " Flyer II " s thrusters with more weapons fire . Kim tries to call " Voyager " for help , but the attacks have knocked out their subspace communication system . The aliens seize them in a tractor beam , and then intentionally use a disruption field that begins destroying The Doctor ' s program . As the aliens pull the " Flyer II " in and his program degrades , The Doctor begs Seven to do something . Four armed Lokirrim beam aboard . They enter the lab with Kim , but find Seven alone . They demand the ' photonic , ' but Seven , in a manner that is very much like that of The Doctor , responds that they destroyed him . The aliens confiscate the biogenic material from the comet , believing it is for creating biological weapons , as well as The Doctor ' s mobile holo - emitter , which they find in Seven ' s possession . They arrest her and Kim . Seven and Kim are taken aboard the Lokirrim ship and thrown in the brig . Seven , again with The Doctor ' s manner and speech patterns , assures Kim that the situation is not as dire as it appears . Kim angrily disagrees ; they have been captured by aliens , " Voyager " is unaware of their situation , and The Doctor is destroyed . But he is shocked when Seven says , clearly displaying The Doctor ' s manner and speech : " " The reports of my decompilation have been greatly exaggerated . " " Kim looks at her , dumbfounded ; somehow , The Doctor is in her body . The Doctor tells him that Seven downloaded him into her cybernetic matrix . He is now in total control of her body , with her mind submerged ( he assumes ) . He enjoys the physical sensations he is experiencing in Seven ' s body ; of touch ; of breathing . He does not enjoy his initial experience with smell , though ; his first smell is that of Kim ' s perspiration . Act Two . Aboard " Voyager " , Lt . Commander Tuvok , is in his quarters , being examined by Lt . ( J . G . ) Tom Paris . A trained medical assistant , Paris has taken over The Doctor ' s duties until his return . Tuvok looks very unwell ; he is trembling and sweating profusely . As he valiantly attempts to concentrate on his meditation lamp , Paris scans him and notes aloud the detected symptoms : headache , fever , respiratory distress . The scan suggests that Tuvok has a virus , but Tuvok , his voice a harsh whisper , tells him it is not . He asks Paris to replicate a particular medication that The Doctor had specially formulated , but Paris refuses ; medical regulations demand that he know what the medicine is for before he administers it . The Vulcan tells him that he is suffering from a chemical imbalance native to the Vulcan species . Paris correctly guesses what the ' imbalance ' is : pon farr . The medication was formulated by The Doctor for him and other Vulcans on the ship to help control the symptoms . Paris says that he will make excuses for him to Captain Janeway so that Tuvok can remain off - duty for a few days . Tuvok is very concerned that she will ask why . Paris responds that he will state the reason as being what the tricorder scan suggests it is : that Tuvok has the Tarkalean flu . Tuvok is grateful . On the Lokirrim ship , Kim and Seven , with The Doctor in Seven ' s body , are eating the prisoner rations given to them by their captors . Kim hates it , muttering that probably tastes better , but The Doctor is enjoying the sensation of eating immensely and even has Kim ' s share . As he / she continues eating happily , Kim sits beside him / Seven , a look of exasperated chagrin on his face . Suddenly , two Lokirrim , a man and woman , come and take The Doctor / Seven to the captured " Delta Flyer II " , which is in the shuttlebay . Their leader , one Captain Ranek , is inside , examining it . He tells The Doctor / Seven that the " Flyer II " s weapons and duranium - reinforced hull are very sophisticated for a smuggler ' s vessel . The Doctor / Seven exasperatedly tells him that they are not smugglers or terrorists ; their Captain will explain everything once they contact her . He retorts that if they are not doing anything wrong , she ( he believes he is speaking to Seven , unaware of The Doctor in her body ) will tell him more about the ship , such as " " What this device does " " , indicating the food replicator . The Doctor / Seven explains its use and demonstrates by replicating cheesecake . But his / her intensely pleasured reaction on tasting it leads Ranek to ask if ' she ' has never had it before . ' She ' replicates a piece for him and he , too , greatly enjoys it , asking what other foods the replicatior can make . The two end up sharing a long period of eating and drinking all manner of replicated desserts and alcoholic drink . The intoxicated Doctor / Seven tells him of ' her ' time as a Borg drone , and ' her ' relationship with The Doctor . ' She ' makes him feel guilty about supposedly destroying him , and persuades him to return The Doctor ' s mobile emitter , which ' she ' claims is ' her ' portable regeneration device . On The Doctor ' s / Seven ' s return to the detention cell , the waiting Ensign Kim is flabbergasted at his / her intoxicated state . He / she , slurring and staggering , proudly tells Kim that he / she was successful in getting back The Doctor ' s mobile emitter . Kim hurriedly takes it before he / she damages it in his / her clumsy , drunken state . He assists her in returning The Doctor to the emitter by helping him / her interface with it using Seven ' s Borg assimilation tubule s . Once The Doctor is out of her body , Seven immediately begins feeling the ill effects of The Doctor ' s overindulgence and angrily accuses him of abusing her body . Her mind , far from being submerged , had been fully aware of all that had happened . Act Three . In the Lokirrim detention cell , Seven is very upset with The Doctor ; his drinking and overindulgence in rich desserts ( a whole cheesecake and three servings of Ktarian chocolate puff s ) while in her body have left her feeling very ill . She refuses to hide The Doctor in her body again , but Kim persuades her to do so , until they are able to escape ; if they found The Doctor , they would certainly destroy him , and Kim ' s and Seven ' s chances of getting out of the situation would be zero . They formulate a plan : The Doctor , in her body , will get close to their computer system , where her mind will be able to observe their command protocols , allowing them to access their computer and send a message to " Voyager " . In the Lokirrim ship ' s sickbay , The Doctor / Seven assists the female Lokirrim who had taken him / her to Ranek earlier , Lieutenant Jaryn , with a medical case . Jaryn describes her position as being both engineer and chief medical officer among other things ; a ' jack of all trades ' . While they speak , The Doctor ' s interest in her becomes evident . Aboard " Voyager " , Paris administers The Doctor ' s pon farr medication to Tuvok in his quarters , but it is ineffective . Tuvok resolves to endure the situation until The Doctor ' s return , but Paris offers an alternative : he suggests that Tuvok use the holodeck to resolve his situation . At first , Tuvok angrily refuses , stating that he is a married man . Paris explains himself , asking Tuvok if he has any holoimages of his wife . Tuvok says he does and Paris offers to use his skills in holographic engineering to create a hologram of T ' Pel , telling Tuvok that he is not being unfaithful if it is a hologram of his wife . Tuvok accepts Paris ' idea . On the bridge , a vessel is detected closing in at high impulse . It fires , but " Voyager " s deflector shield s hold . Janeway orders a hail to the vessel , which turns out to be a Lokirrim patrol ship ( like the one that captured the away team ) . The Lokirrim captain informs them of their detection of photonic activity aboard " Voyager " ( due to Tuvok ' s use of the holodeck ) and demands that they drop their shields and prepare to be boarded . They fire the same type of disruption field beam was used on the " Flyer II " against The Doctor . It has the same effect on the holodeck simulation Tuvok is using , and the hologram of T ' Pel , to his great consternation , begins to fizzle . Mildy annoyed , Janeway has the officer at Tactical destroy the weapons array that is firing the beam . The Lokirrim captain hails them and repeats his demands . Knowing that they pose no real threat , Janeway demands to know why they fired on " Voyager " . They reply that the use of photonic technology is forbidden in their space . Janeway politely responds by having Commander Chakotay shut down the holodeck from their command station console . On the holodeck , Tuvok ' s T ' Pel simulation suddenly ends , to his great frustration . The Lokirrim captain still insists that they prepare for boarding and inspection . Her patience worn thin , Janeway gives them a choice : escort " Voyager " through their space , ensuring through constant scanning that they do not use holographic technology . . . or " Voyager " destroys them . Uncomfortably aware of " Voyager " s ability to do just that , the Lokirrim captain accepts the first option . In the sickbay of the Lokirrim patrol ship holding the away team , Lt . Jaren and The Doctor / Seven continue their conversation . The Doctor is sexually interested in her , but things sour when she offers to introduce him to her brother ( like Ranek , she believes she is dealing with a woman ) . Just then , Ranek calls Seven to the bridge . On the bridge , Ranek receives ' her ' by showing ' her ' a lovely pulsar field on the viewscreen , dimming the lights and breaking out two glasses of synthehol . However , having promised Seven he would no longer drink while in her body , The Doctor politely refuses . Ranek then has the pulsar ' s EM fields vibrations against the ship ' s hull converted to sound and transmitted into the room . The haunting , humpback whale - like sounds fill the room as Ranek sidles up beside The Doctor / Seven . It soon becomes obvious what he has in mind . It becomes clear to The Doctor / Seven when Ranek suddenly kisses ' her ' . Outraged , he / she pushes him away so hard he falls over . He tries to apologize but ' she ' rejects it and storms off the bridge . Act Four . The Doctor / Seven returns to the Sickbay and disgustedly tells Jaryn what happened , but then he / she gets a terrible cramp in ' her ' trapezius muscle . To ease ' her ' pain , Jaryn begins massaging ' her ' shoulders . This proves very enjoyable for The Doctor ; in fact , he actually gets aroused . . . in Seven ' s body . Jaryn has no idea of this ; to her , this is just a therapeutic massage . Suddenly aware of the impropriety ( and the expression he has on Seven ' s face ) , The Doctor quickly stops the massage and moves away from her . Confused , Jaryn asks ' her ' what is wrong . He / she is loath to respond , but Jaryn concludes that ' her ' reaction is as a result of ' her ' being part - Borg . Then a message comes through on the intercom calling him / her ; ' her ' crewmate is having a seizure . Returning to the detention cell , The Doctor / Seven finds Ensign Kim on the floor seemingly groaning in pain . He / she kneels to examine him as he rolls over , but when he sees the guard leave over his / her shoulder , he stops faking and berates ' her ' for being away so long . He / she tells him to calm down ; they are making progress . The Doctor then again returns himself to his mobile emitter , only to face Seven ' s wrath over what happened on the bridge and in the Sickbay . He is embarrassed , but then begins berating " her " on her refusal to ever indulge in any of life ' s pleasures ; he would very much like to have an existence in which he could experience every day what she denies herself ; indulgences , he tells her , are what make life worth living . Kim brings them back to focusing on the task at hand : calling " Voyager " . Seven tells him that she did see Ranek input his command codes . Kim says if they can get the codes to " Voyager " , perhaps " Voyager " could disable the ship ' s shields and beam them out . They only need to use the " Delta Flyer II " s subspace transceiver . But the " Flyer II " is heavily guarded . The Doctor , with a smirk , says he can get them aboard . Once again in Seven ' s body , The Doctor asks to go to the bridge to see Ranek . ' She ' asks to speak with him privately aboard the " Flyer II " . There ' she ' apologizes for ' her ' earlier reaction , drinks a toast with him , and dances the waltz with him around the " Flyer II " s cockpit . As they dance , she sticks him in the neck with a sedative , knocking him out . On " Voyager " s bridge , Tuvok , despite his discomfort , is at his station trying to track down the " Flyer II " , which was supposed to rendezvous with them but never showed up . Captain Janeway , however , knows exactly what afflicts him and grants him a long session on the holodeck once the " Flyer II " and away team have been retrieved . Then a hail comes in from the " Flyer II " . On - screen , The Doctor / Seven explains the situation and gives them Ranek ' s command codes . Janeway orders an intercept course ; to shake their Lokirrim escort , she has Tuvok target and destroy their power matrix , rendering them dead in space . They then proceed to the target ship at maximum warp . Act Five . On the target Lokirrim ship ' s Sickbay , Jaryn finds Ranek on a bed with The Doctor / Seven present . Despite his / her attempts to convince her not to do so by claiming he was drunk and sleeping it off , Jaryn wakes him and he immediately orders The Doctor / Seven seized . Just then , " Voyager " is detected on their scanners , approaching . Ranek and Jaryn go to the bridge , and The Doctor / Seven is brought along , under guard . On " Voyager " s bridge , Janeway opens a channel to the Lokirrim ship . She tells Ranek she does not want a fight and asks for her people and the " Flyer II " back . Ranek refuses , saying they were caught smuggling ' photonic insurgents ' and biogenic material . Janeway has Chakotay input the codes they got from The Doctor / Seven ; the Lokirrim ship ' s shields go offline . Ranek orders the shield power generators to be tied into the warp core , and tells Janeway that any weapons fire on his ship would cause a core breach , killing everyone aboard , including the away team . Janeway orders a tractor beam put on them , but the Lokirrim destroy the beam emitters and break free . Janeway then orders a com signal be routed directly to Seven ' s Borg cortical node , and uses it to tell The Doctor to try to disable the Lokirrim shields . The Doctor returns himself to his emitter for the final time . When he appears , the Lokirrim are completely taken aback ; Jaryn scans him and confirms , " " Hes a ' photonic ' . " " Seven knocks down the guard close to them , takes his weapon and gives it to The Doctor to hold on them while she works the shield controls . The Doctor , never having held anyone at gunpoint before , is very nervous and does not see the ' planning ' looks between the Lokirrim . Suddenly they charge and disarm him . Ranek fires at the controls ( he could have easily killed Seven , but his lingering feelings for her prevent that ) . Jaryn informs him of what her console sensors indicate : Seven destabilized the shield matrix . He gives the weapon to Jaryn and tries to reinitialize the shields ; Seven warns him not to ; the circuits would overload . He ignores her and that is precisely what happens ; the console explodes and he is severely injured . The Doctor rushes to help him . Jaryn warns him to stay back , but he refuses ; he is a doctor , regardless if the patient is an enemy or not . On " Voyager " , Tuvok reports that the Lokirrim shields are down . Janeway orders the away team to prepare for beam - out , but The Doctor asks her to wait ; he is treating an injured Lokirrim . Janeway , of course , acquiesces . On the Lokirrim bridge , The Doctor pleads with Jaryn , who is loath to trust him now that she knows what he is , but he tells her she will never forgive herself if Ranek dies ; while he was in Seven ' s body , she had told him she had feelings for Ranek . She relents , and lets The Doctor treat him . In the Lokirrim Sickbay , The Doctor restores Ranek to full health , and , despite his distrust of ' photonics ' , he thanks The Doctor for saving his life . Jaryn does the same . The Doctor tells her that he doesn ' t think this experience will change her opinion of ' photonics ' , but he hopes it ' s a start . She does as well . Back on " Voyager " , Lt . Paris and Lt . Commander Tuvok are walking down a corridor . Tuvok ' s condition has passed , thanks to the holodeck simulation of his wife , which he returned to after the Lokirrim situation was resolved . He thanks Paris , but comments that the hologram could never replace his real wife . Paris understands this . In " Voyager " s Sickbay , Seven arrives with some old Earth culinary indulgences : foie gras and Château d ' Yquem . She has considered what The Doctor told her about enjoying the pleasures of life , and has decided to start . She has also decided , since The Doctor cannot any longer enjoy the physical sensations he was able to in her body , to describe the physical sensations the food and drink produce as she eats and drinks , allowing him to experience the sensations vicariously . He agrees with a smile . Memorable quotes . " " I assimilated species from one side of the galaxy to the other . I ' ll say this for the Borg : they certainly do travel ! " " " " Never play " hard to get " with a hologram ! " " " " It is a food replicator . " " " " Can it be used to make bio - weapons ? " " " " Not unless you count Mr . Neelix ' s Bolian soufflé . " " " " Ranek summoned me to the Bridge under the pretext of a little " star gazing " . What he really wanted was to use my face as a tongue depressor . " " " " Your neurotransmitters aren ' t absorbing the medication . " " " " Can you increase the dosage ? " " " " Not without causing damage to your neocortex . The Doc might be able to synthesize a stronger medicine , but . . . " " " " I ' ll make the best of the situation until he returns . " " " " I do have one area of expertise that might help . The holodeck . " " " " I am a married man . " " " " It ' s the holodeck , Tuvok . It doesn ' t count . " " " " Is that what you tell your wife ? " " " " No , of course not . My days of rescuing slave girls from Planet Ten are history . Look , you have photographs of your wife , right ? The computer can use them to create a replica . You wouldn ' t be breaking your vows if it ' s a hologram of your wife . " " " " As it was in the dawn of our days , as it will be for all tomorrows . To you , my husband , I consecrate all that I am . " " " " T ' Pel , my wife . From you I receive all that I am . " " " " As it was in the beginning , so shall it be now . " " " " Two bodies , one mind . " " " " There you are , Commander ! A person with your condition really ought to be in bed ! " " " " The reports of my decompilation have been greatly exaggerated . " " " " Mmm ! I had no idea that eating was such a sensual experience . The tastes , the textures , feeling it slide down Seven ' s esophagus , it ' s , it ' s exquisite ! " " " " They ' re prison rations . My uniform probably tastes better ! " " " " I ' m afraid the role of ' spy ' wasn ' t written into my program . I was forced to improvise . " " " " You ' improvised ' your way through an entire cheesecake as well as three servings of Ktarian chocolate puffs ! Now " I " have to suffer the consequences . " " " " And the massage you got from Lieutenant Jaryn ? " " " " Entirely therapeutic ! " " " " You became sexually aroused in " my " body ! " " " " There are many women who would appreciate an attractive man like you . I ' m just not one of them . " " " " Perhaps time will pass more easily if we disable his vocal processor .
