This is an episode that had a great and promsiing premise. Someone aboard Voyager is targeting Maquis crewmen. And based upon the language used in the very beginning of the episode, it's pretty simple to figure out who is behind it.
What we end up having is a sort of "Manchurian Candidate" scenario in which Teero (sounds like an Ewok's name), a Bajoran man with serious grievances, utilizies his "mind-control" abilities to activate Tuvok as well as others to take over Voyager.
In the end, Tuvok is able to get control of himself and rescue Chakotay before any real damage is done.
So...what happened next? There is literally no scenes or even dialogue involving Janeway about what they plan to do about Teero. Are they going to alert Starfleet in the next batch of messages? Are they also going to warn Starfleet regarding the possible dangers within the messages that they receive?
Everything is completely open-ended without explanation. Not quite sure if the director, writer, or editor is to blame for this (perhaps all three), but as soon as the credits began to roll at the end, I was like, "Wait a second? What's going to be done about this?"
What a terrible way to end an episode. Especially one that was actually pretty good!
