When
a crew member is murdered, Tuvok's investigation leads to another crewman,
Ensign Suder, who
finally admits he is the perpetrator. Vulcan instincts prohibit Tuvok from
determining a logical motive for committing such a crime, so he attempts
to understand the violent impulses of a criminal by performing a mind-meld
on Suder.
When Tuvok removes himself from duty, the Doctor initiates treatment which
removes Tuvok's emotional suppression abilities. Meanwhile, Chakotay puts
Paris on report for running an illegal gambling operation.
