A similar episode was proposed, unsuccessfully, for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and executive producer Jeri Taylor noted that difficulties that the writers encountered on that episode informed the structure of Deadlock.

The damaged Voyager, however, is undetected by the Vidiians. The undamaged Voyager is attacked by Vidiian ships Vidiians soon appear on board and begin harvesting vital organs from the crew. Janeway from the undamaged ship asks her counterpart to delay for 15 minutes to devise another option, and returns to her ship via the rift. Janeway from the damaged Voyager states she will initiate a self-destruct of her ship to allow the undamaged one to regain power. The two Janeways meet to discuss options, recognizing they cannot evacuate the damaged Voyager without creating a quantum imbalance. Janeway from the undamaged Voyager crosses through the rift along with the duplicate of Kes. The two crews attempt to merge the ships, but the effort is unsuccessful. However, this did not replicate the antimatter, hence the power failures. The respective crews are able to make contact with each other, and conclude that upon exiting the nebula, Voyager and its crew were duplicated as a result of a space-time rift. This Voyager 's proton bursts succeeded in maintaining the reaction, but damaged its doppelganger, of which the crew are aware due to Kes's arrival through the rift. The viewer is then shown the immaculate bridge of Voyager, where that version of Janeway watches a ghostly image of herself evacuate the bridge. The bridge crew is forced to evacuate the bridge when it is engulfed in flames, but as she leaves, Captain Kathryn Janeway sees a ghostly image of the bridge-crew, calmly at their stations. As the crew recovers, Torres discovers there is air on the other side of the rift, and believes that it may be possible to rescue Kes.

The bursts cause shipwide hull ruptures and casualties, including the deaths of Harry Kim and the newborn Naomi Wildman, while Kes disappears through a space-time rift.
