Voyager detects a brand new element and goes to a cavernous planet to investigate. There they discover a graveyard of sorts with humanoid bodies wrapped up. Suddenly a rift starts to open, they all beam out but Kim gets sucked into it. Simultaneously, out comes one of those humanoid bodies. The body ends up on Voyager and the Doctor revives it. It is a woman and I swear ... now I'm not just saying this ... it looks like Rocky Dennis.
Kim has been sent to this woman's home world of Vhnori and finds himself in a coffin of sorts. He gets out of the coffin pod and everyone now thinks that he is from the afterlife. There is a Vhnori guy who is about to die and he now questions if there even is an afterlife because Kim seems so...boring. Kim offers to take the guys place in his coffin, in hopes of getting sent back to the cavern (but he will also be killed in the process??).
Back on Voyager, Rocky Denise is freaking out because she realizes that there is no afterlife. She wants to just go home now. Her and Kim get transported simultaneously and switch places again. They revive Kim and all is well. Kim worries about ruining the planets religion but Janeway says that a mysterious energy is indeed coming from the caverns and it could be an afterlife. I like this about Star Trek, they never choose a side when it comes to Science or Religion. They leave anything open. It's show in which anything is possible.
This episode has the great Jerry Hardin in it.

every trek alien (besides vulcans) look like Rocky Dennis. This makes me believe that The Mask was a prequel to Star Trek the Motion Picture
And Sisko was also obsessed with baseball cards???
