Notes
  • The episode references the Betazoid syndrome Zanthi Fever, first seen in the DS9 episode "Fascination", but it turns out T'Lyn has Bendii Syndrome, which typically affects older Vulcans ("Sarek").
  • Dolorex, Katrot, and Cathiw are part of the Betazoid Intelligence Agency (BIA) and are secretly investigating the ship that has been destroying the ships since the season opener "Twovix".
