"Lifesigns" - Voyager detects a distress call from a weakened lifeform aboard a small spacecraft and quickly beams a deathly ill Vidiian female to Sickbay. The Doctor starts treating her for advanced stages of the Phage by transferring her decaying body into stasis and creating a temporary, healthy holographic program of her being. As he becomes acquanted with the alien, a hematologist named Danara Pel, something momentous occurs--his adaptive program allows him to experience love and romance, on "Star Trek: Voyager" airing MONDAY, FEB. 26 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on UPN.

Lieutenant Paris continues to be insubordinate and espionage is more complicated than Jonas thought when Seska instructs him to plan an accident which will damage Voyager's warp coils.
