Synopsis
The crew of Voyager encounters alien beings known as the Sikarians — a race renowned for their incredible hospitality. When it becomes known that the Sikarians have the technology to "fold" space and travel more than 40,000 lights years in an instant, the Voyager crew thinks they've found their way home. But the hospitality of the Sikarians is not all it seems on the surface, and both races' code of ethics is put to the test.

- Presumably, Tuvok is demoted to rank of Lieutenant for his actions in this episode as he suddenly changes rank to Lieutenant from Lieutenant Commander soon after this episode.
- The Sikarians and their technology are referenced 25 years later in the Star Trek: Picard episode "The Impossible Box". By that time, the Sikarians and their spatial trajector have been assimilated by the Borg.
