Suder: I don't seem to feel anything at all.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: While not in control of his emotions, Tuvok delivers one to Janeway. Ransacked Room: Janeway enters Tuvok's quarters to find the furniture smashed and Tuvok sitting in the dark, his Face Framed in Shadow. Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "I.seek.no return!". Psychotic Smirk: Evil Tuvok, when suggesting that Janeway lower the force field so that he can execute Suder. Psychic Powers: Tuvok tries to kill Suder with a Mind Meld of Death! Fortunately melding with Suder restores his good side. And There Was Much Rejoicing amongst fans until Tuvok says says, "Computer, end program." Either way, it's a clear sign Tuvok is Not Himself. He becomes so annoying that Tuvok throttles him to death. Proscenium Reveal: Tuvok is being hassled by Neelix in the messhall. Pay Evil unto Evil: Tuvok suggests that given Voyager's unusual circumstances, Suder should be executed. Not that this satisfies Tuvok, who can't quite accept that Suder would kill someone just because he wants to kill someone. Open-and-Shut Case: Tuvok easily solves the crime and Suder readily confesses to it. Is Serious Business: Apart from Tuvok's behaviour, this episode starts what some have called the "Bad Paris Arc," to be resolved in "Investigations." 
Nude Nature Dance with Mud Wrestling: According to Neelix, Vulcans had them too! About a millennium ago. Not So Stoic: A trip through Tuvok's Dark Side. Suder on the other hand is calm and adopts Tuvok's Reverse Arm-Fold posture. Not Himself: Janeway notes that Tuvok keeps twitching his hands after his mind meld. No Sense of Personal Space: Neelix on the holodeck. No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: Tuvok suggests the holodeck as an outlet for his violent urges, but Suder says he's tried it and it doesn't match the real thing. Muggle Born of Mages: Unlike most Betazoids, Suder has neither telepathic nor empathic ability. Near the end of the story, Tuvok gets this way by forcing a mind meld with Suder, only to end up collapsing in the attempt. During an intense dialogue with Tuvok, Suder really plays up the "rape" aspects of a Mind Meld, including its lethal potential. Suder: It's that Vulcan thing where you grab someone's head. Hollywood Healing: The technique used to cure Vulcan involves wiping and rebooting his brain like a virus-infected computer. As Tuvok becomes fascinated with trying to figure out a logical explanation for Suder's crime that just isn't there, the episode goes to a much darker place. Halfway Plot Switch: The episode is set up as a simple murder mystery, but Suder confesses relatively early on. Hannibal Lecture: Evil Tuvok doesn't hesitate to tell Janeway what he thinks of her. And then they throw all that away by failing to post a guard on Sickbay, or have the Doctor remain activated during the course of the treatment. When Evil Tuvok knocks himself out trying to break through the forcefield in Sickbay, the Doctor insist that Kes sedate him remotely in case he's Playing Possum. When Tuvok realises he's losing control he puts his room in Lock Down, and insists Janeway sedate him on the way to Sickbay. Janeway has her own security wait outside the door with her hand on her phaser before entering Tuvok's room. When Tuvok orders the Forcefield Door lowered, Lt. The Guards Must Be Crazy: Averted for once!. Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Tuvok isn't satisfied by the idea Suder simply killed Darwin for looking at him the wrong way, unable to believe someone could kill for such a minor reason. Finger-Forced Smile: Holo-Neelix annoying Tuvok. Fantastic Racism: Evil Tuvok addresses the Doctor as "hologram" and talks of how humans disgust him. 
Evil Is Hammy: Psycho Tuvok unloading on Janeway, Kes, and the Doctor in Sickbay. Evil Feels Good: When Tuvok's mental barriers are removed he boasts of how strong he feels, and wants the Doctor to keep him this way a bit longer to study the effects of being a primal Vulcan. And calling it that makes it more comfortable for you.
