[edit] Plot
Illusion and reality collide for the Doctor.
The Doctor is activated and the computer tells him that there is a ship-wide emergency. He scans the ship for the crew and it turns out that they were all forced to abandon ship. After making his final log, the Doctor goes to deactivate himself, but suddenly Torres enters the room.
Torres explains that the crew had escaped through the lifepods and she and the Captain stayed behind to stop a warp core breach caused by a Kazon attack. Torres says that the Captain is injured on the bridge, and tells the Doctor the go help her. The Doctor now finds out that there are new holo-emiters installed throughout the ship.
After the Doctor helps the Captain, he is summoned to the Mess Hall, where Neelix is in under attack from a Kazon. However, among the struggle the Doctor discovers that he himself is bleeding. He says it's impossible and is astonished to feel pain.
While the Doctor is curing himself of his cut, the computer insists that the Doctor is actually Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the human who created Voyager's EMH. Stranger still, when the Captain tells the computer to shut down all of the ship's holographic systems, the Captain, Neelix, Torres and the Kazon soldier vanish — but the Doctor remains intact.
