Workforce , Part II ( episode ) Quarren forces close in as Chakotay and the others try to rescue the crew . Summary . Teaser . Chakotay damages the power grid in his attempt to escape , thus diverting the attention of the pursuing guards , and appears to jump off the edge of a building after disabling the force field . However , he manages to ambush the guards , grabbing a weapon and getting rid of them all . Meanwhile , " Voyager " is under attack by two Quarren patrol ship s , with the ECH and Harry Kim in joint command . The Doctor uses information from his tactical database to create a method of escape . , and " Voyager " manages to disable two pursuing ships by using a photonic shockwave , by firing a photon torpedo then detonating it with a phaser beam when it is in between the two ships . Harry Kim says that they should go back and get Chakotay , but just as he does , The Doctor detects five more incoming enemy ships . The Doctor decides the best course of action is retreat , and Kim agrees . Chakotay escapes , and arrives at a local establishment where he meets with Kathryn Janeway . She apologizes to him about her friend , Jaffen , being so rude before , but she still doesn ' t recognize him as " Voyager " s first officer ' Chakotay . She is celebrating moving in with Jaffen . Janeway offers to let him share in the celebration with them , but Chakotay declines . He looks shocked at the news but his shoulder wound is more distracting . Act One . Yerid and an officer appear and begin looking for Chakotay . They ask Tom Paris , who works at the bar , about the disappearance of two people , B ' Elanna Torres and Neelix . Paris is concerned for Torres , barely remembers Neelix , and is about to point out Chakotay , when Chakotay leaves . According to his scans , the memory center s of Torres ' brain have been radically altered . It was very selective manipulation of memory engrams . The damage could be repaired , but it will take some time . Meanwhile , Tuvok is being examined by two doctor s , Ravoc and Kadan . They are trying to " diagnose " Tuvok , whose condition of claiming not who he should be perplexes Ravoc . Kadan explains his research into Dysphoria Syndrome , a rare condition . He has been treated for it before , through engramatic resequencing , but since this syndrome is so insidious , it must be done again . Ravoc has doubts , but Kadan convinces him it is the right thing to do . Seven of Nine reports to the supervisor ' s office shortly after that . She asks about Tuvok – by employee number , # 8583 – and says some of the workers are concerned that his disease may be contagious . The supervisor tells her to say everything is fine . Yerid then appears , and asks them about Neelix and B ' Elanna Torres . Seven of Nine says they didn ' t report for work today . He also asks about Chakotay ( employee # 9363 ) , and they pull his file . Meanwhile , Janeway is moving in with Jaffen . He asks why she has so many things after just a three weeks , to which she replies that she likes to collect things . Jaffen asks what she could possibly want with a spent plasma relay , to which Janeway replies that she thinks spent plasma relays are a work of art . When she goes back to her apartment to get the rest of her things , she discovers a piece of cloth with blood on it . She activates the lights , and finds Chakotay is waiting for her , collapsed against the wall , wounded , holding a weapon . Act Two . Janeway demands to know what he wants . He turns off the lights , and tries to persuade her that she and many others were brainwashed . He eventually convinces her that innocent people will suffer if he is turned in and she offers to fix his wounds . In the meantime , Neelix shows Torres her and Tom ' s quarters . When she sees items reminding her of her marriage to Paris , her memory slowly begins to return . Janeway goes to the plant to borrow something to heal Chakotay ' s cut . Seven of Nine catches her , and reminds her that is against regulations . When Janeway says that Jaffen cut himself and he ' s too stubborn to go to the hospital , she allows it . Seven goes and looks up Tuvok in the computer , bypassing security , and finds data lacking on his species . She also finds that he has been accessing files for the entire crew . Janeway heals Chakotay ' s wounds , and Chakotay tries to persuade her that she isn ' t happy with her job . Kim , 8 light - years away , contacts Chakotay to make sure he is safe . Chakotay tells him that he has found many members of the crew and that he is sitting with Captain Janeway . When she is about to call security , he regenerates his face to remove his disguise to try to prove that they know each other . Act Three . Janeway tells Jaffen about Chakotay and , but he doesn ' t believe her . Jaffen convinces her to call security , and security officers burst into Janeway ' s apartment . When he is being questioned , and examined in a hospital , three security officers tell the doctor to transfer him to the neuropathology division , since he is mentally ill . Yerid protests , but since the order is signed by his superiors , he is forced to let them take him . On his way out of the room , Chakotay tells the Quarren investigator everything he can . On " Voyager " , Neelix cooks Torres her favorite breakfast , pancake s and maple syrup , as she reads Paris ' personal log s , amazed at how much he loves her , and wondering if he ever will again . The Doctor and Harry Kim , meanwhile , after finding a way to evade Quarren patrol ships ' sensors , argue about whether The Doctor will return to being the Emergency Medical Hologram . That ' s when they receive a transmission from Chakotay , saying they should go into orbit at an exact location , since he is ready to shut down the shield grid . Unknown to the " Voyager " crew , Chakotay was speaking on behalf of Kadan so they can assault " Voyager " . Ravoc asks Kadan about whether or not this disease is spreading ; after all , two workers in two days have come in with it . Kadan says he has already talked to the supervisor of the plant , and measures have been taken . Seven of Nine brings several of the discrepancies she has discovered to Yerid : Why were all 138 of these aliens processed through Division 6 , and how were they all hired on the same day ? Unfortunately , he can ' t do anything ; the Director of Investigations relieved him of duty that morning . Seven of Nine decides she will go to the hospital to help with Yerid ' s investigation , since Yerid ' s presence would arouse suspicion . Act Four . Seven of Nine goes to see Ravoc at the hospital , and says she has been having disturbing thoughts . When he looks up her record , he notes that she has been treated for Dysporia Syndrome . Ravoc says that she came to the right place , since they have one of the foremost experts on the disease here , referring to Kadan . With some badgering , she gets Ravoc to fetch Kadan . While he is gone , she starts going through the hospital database . Meanwhile , at Jarren ' s residence , Yerid asks him and Janeway a few questions . He asks Janeway if she knew Chakotay . While she initially says no , he points out details about him that show she is lying , so she tells the truth . Jarren fails to brush the whole thing off , and Yerid has her tell him everything Chakotay said . Kadan is furious once he learns that Ravoc didn ' t stop Seven when she walked out . Ravoc says she was a voluntary patient , so there was no reason to stop her . They find she accessed 64 secret files , all of the cases of Dysporia Syndrome admitted on the same day . Ravoc says Kadan never mentioned it . Ravoc continues to ask questions , and finally begins to put together a picture of selective diagnoses . Kadan admits what he is doing and Ravoc can ' t believe it , threatening to report him . However , Kadan points out there isn ' t anyone for him to be reported to . When security next asks Tom Paris about Seven of Nine , he lies about knowing her . After they leave , Seven , Jaffen , Janeway , and Yerid all meet . With Seven ' s evidence , Janeway begins to believe that something is going on . She remembers that Chakotay had proof of her identity about a ship called " Voyager " , and they could be contacted with a triaxilating frequency on a covariant subspace band . They plan to get into the Central Power Facility and use the subspace transceiver in there , while Yerid and Seven go to the hospital . Seven of Nine and Yerid successfully break in and confront Kadan . Meanwhile , Janeway , Paris and Jaffen have similar luck . " Voyager " enters orbit just as their message gets through . Janeway talks to them , and sees Torres , much to her surprise . Since this is enough proof , she agrees to help them with their plan to beam out all of those abducted . However , three ships attack " Voyager " in orbit , and cut off their transmissions . Act Five . Security forces attack Janeway and Jaffen . Since they can ' t get to the power grid , she makes the computer think the core is going to overload , just as she nearly did by accident on her first day of work , automatically shutting down main power . Back on " Voyager " , the crew figure out they have been lured into a trap . Ensign Kim decides to launch three of the few remaining escape pod s and puts a dampening field around the briefing room to mask their life sign s . The Quarran ships tractor the three pods not knowing they ' re empty , and at that point The Doctor self - destructs them causing massive damage to the ships . When the shield grid fails , all members of Voyager ' s crew are beamed off of the planet . The Quarren ambassador says the whole thing has been a conspiracy , and that they have identified thousands of workers who were once patients of Dr . Kadan . He promises they will be treated and then returned to their homes . In their quarters , B ' Elanna thanks Tom for looking out for her even when he didn ' t know who she was . Jaffen goes to speak to Captain Janeway , telling her his memories weren ' t altered and he genuinely came to Quarra looking for work and has now been promoted . Janeway tells him that while she could use someone with his skills on " Voyager " , it wouldn ' t be appropriate for her to ask him to join the crew given their past , and the two bid each other a sad goodbye . With the rest of the crew treated and returned to their proper lives , Janeway enters the bridge and tells Chakotay that while her memories may not have been real , Quarra did really feel like home . If he hadn ' t come to rescue them , she never would have known the difference . Despite that however , she is glad he came for her and with that , the crew continue the journey back to their real home . Memorable quotes . " " I ' m not here to hurt anyone .
