"Sorry. These lab rats are fighting back!"
(Janeway)

Plot: Janeway and her crew begin to exhibit unusual symptoms when they become unwilling test subjects in alien scientific experiments. Only Seven and the Doctor are unaffected and it is up to them to rescue their crew from their predicament.

Guest cast:

Annette Helde ("Takar")
Rosemary Forsyth ("Alzen")

Some trivia:

* This episode was originally titled "Tagged".
* Annette Helde also played the Romulan Karina in the DS9 episode "Visionary" and Nadia Larkin in DS9 episode "The Siege of AR-558". She was also seen in "Star Trek: First Contact" playing a guard.

Memorable scenes:

* The scenes with Tom and B'Elanna are quite funny - particularly the scene in Engineering where Tuvok walks in on the unsuspecting couple.
* Scenes with the irritable Janeway are equally funny.

Some quotes:

"I never realised you thought of me as reckless, Tuvok."
"A poor choice of words. It was clearly an understatement."
(Janeway and Tuvok)

My comments:  An interesting episode with some really funny scenes. The idea was quite good and entertaining. But the whole "Seven saves the day"  theme will get very tiresome! Still, it's an episode definately worth watching.
