Synopsis
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS from
StarTrek.com
When an Away Team consisting of Paris, Torres and Lt. Durst
fails to return, Chakotay, Kim and Tuvok beam down to the
planet where the trio was working to investigate. Chakotay
traces the missing crewmembers to some caves, but can't
break through the Vidiian force field to find them.
In an underground lab, a Vidiian scientist named Sulan has
extracted Torres's Klingon genetic material to create an
all-Klingon version of her. He hopes to create a cure for
the deadly Phage disease infecting his race by injecting a
pure Klingon subject with the disease. But his interest in
Torres is more than purely scientific, a fact the Klingon
woman soon picks up on.
Trapped in another Vidiian cell, Paris and Durst are stunned
when a new prisoner is brought in. It's an all-human version
of Torres — the other "half" of Torres that was left after
Sulan removed the Klingon genetic material. The guards
return and forcibly remove Durst from the cell. Although
Paris tries unsuccessfully to help his friend, all the human
Torres can do is cringe in fear.
The next time Sulan comes to visit the Klingon Torres, she
is horrified to see him wearing Durst's face. He has killed
the lieutenant and grafted the dead man's face over his own
diseased features in the hopes that Torres will find him
more attractive. Instead, her anger helps her to break the
bonds restraining her. She attacks Sulan and escapes from
the lab.
Paris and the human Torres are sent out on a labor detail,
but when she can no longer work, she's sent back to the
barracks. Her Klingon counterpart finds her there, and helps
her to escape. In turn, the human Torres comes up with a
plan to deactivate the shields for the whole facility, which
would allow Voyager to beam them up. The two beings
acknowledge that each has unique qualities that contribute
to the whole being.
Disguised as a Vidiian, Chakotay rescues Paris and they
reunite with the two Torreses. Just as they are about to
beam back up to the ship, Sulan fires and the Klingon Torres
takes the hit to save her human self. She dies after beaming
up with the others, but the Doctor is able to use her
Klingon DNA to restore Torres back to her original self.
