Janeway is aided by a grieving old man who believes she is his daughter as she tries to free Tuvok and Torres from a Mokra prison.
Janeway, Tuvok and Torres visit an Alsaurian world ruled by the Mokra to obtain a chemical Voyager needs. Tuvok and Torres are captured, and the injured Janeway is taken in by Caylem, an elderly man who believes she is his daughter and who has long planned to rescue his imprisoned wife.
Janeway plays along, and the two break into the Mokra prison, but they are caught. The Mokra official Augris reveals that Caylem's real daughter died years earlier and that his wife is also dead. When Augris threatens Janeway, Caylem attacks him and is fatally shot, and Janeway comforts him as he dies, letting him believe he has found his daughter again.
