Blood Fever
It may not exactly be love that’s in the air, but something powerful has taken hold of Vorik and, inadvertently, B’Elanna. Time to go pon farr out when Mission Log catches a Blood Fever.

You know, since it’s been proven that the koon-ut-kal-if-fee meets the needs of the pon farr (i.e. apparently the body simply needs to “get physical”) if you have qualms about using the holodeck as a “marital aid”, why not use it as a sparring partner?
We run into this later (spoiler alert) when Paris has to convince Tuvok that “it’s not cheating if it’s a hologram of your wife.” Or there’s the apparent failure of that treatment protocol with Vorik.
So when the meditation fails them, why can’t Tuvok/Vorik simply turn off the safety protocols, which apparently are just a joke anyway, and check the library to see if they have a copy of Worf’s calisthenics program?
Heh – well, that is a good point too! And yes, when we get to that episode… we may have to run long for the unexpurgated version.
