Notes:

• The Doctor loses his memory. He also takes up opera, starting with "O Soave Fanciulla" from La Boheme.

• Brice Wolf asks: "In 'The Swarm', it looked like Tuvok wanted to warn Capt. Janeway about how dangerous it would be to cross through 'Swarm space' and yet he said nothing. Was there originally an objection in the script? If not, don't you find it odd that the Security Chief would not object?"
  Tim Russ responds: "He did advise against it in the briefing room and I did ask the producers for more of an objection. I thought the character should have been in on devising the flight plan through that part of space."

Robert Picardo Plays Dual Role of The Doctor and Dr. Lewis Zimmerman

The Doctor's rehearsal of an opera duet on the Holodeck is interrupted when he is called to treat the severely injured Lieutenant Paris, who, while aboard a shuttecraft with Torres, has been attacked by an unknown alien force. When The Doctor cannot remember the medical procedures necessary to save Paris, it's discovered that the Emergency Medical Holograph database has overloaded and The Doctor's memory circuits are rapidly degrading.

While the rest of the crew fends off the cluster of alien ships--the first they've ever encountered with transporter technology in the Delta Quadrant--Torres attempts to reinitialize the Doctor's program, but forewarns that her efforts would restore the original E.M.H. program, causing the Doctor to in effect, be erased. As the rapidly failing Doctor becomes more and more disoriented, Kes pleads for an alternative remedy. So Torres leads the Doctor to the holodeck where they recreate Jupiter Station, the place where his database was originally written, and find that the diagnostic matrix is a holographic recreation of his creator, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman.
