Robert Duncan McNeill returns but not as Nick Locarno.

The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4, titled"The Inner Fight," featured the return of a Star Trek: Voyager actor reprising a role other than the one for which they're best known. SPOILERS follow for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4, Episode 9,"The Inner Fight." Robert Duncan McNeill is well known to Star Trek: Voyager fans for playing Tom Paris, the helmsman aboard the U.S.S. Voyager during that vessel's storied journey through the Delta Quadrant.

Who Is Nick Locarno in Star Trek: Lower Decks?Locarno was a Starfleet cadet who led the distinguished Nova Squadron. He convinced the squadron to attempt a banned flight maneuver for the academy's graduation ceremony, which led to the death of one of their squad mates. Locarno lied to cover up his role in the fatal accident and pressured the other Nova Squadron members, including Wesley Crusher, to back his story.

What's Locarno's history with Beckett Mariner?"The Inner Fight" reveals that Beckett Mariner knew Locarno at the academy. She was closer to Sito Jaxa, a member of Nova Squadron who appeared in"The First Duty" and returned in a later Star Trek: The Next Generation episode,"Lower Decks," which gave Star Trek: Lower Decks its name and focus.

Locarno is the Person Behind the Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 MysteryAt about the same time that Locarno abducts Mariner, Capt. Carol Freeman and other members of the U.S.S. Cerritos crew discover that Locarno is involved with a series of attacks on various ships throughout the galaxy using a mysterious spacecraft. ComicBook.com asked Star Trek: Lower Decks creator Mike McMahan about this season-long mystery in a previous interview.
