God I love this episode.. Tuvok and Neelix. It's also very sweet the way Janeway is family to Tuvok. However, this is about Neelix and his heart.
I like this commentary from IMBd : This episode mirrors the events in Star Trek: Voyager: Tuvix (1996) that involved Neelix and Tuvok becoming symbiogenetically joined as one entity. Tuvok's flair for cooking is reminiscent of Tuvix' cooking abilities, which the crew felt were better than those of Neelix. Tuvok's unwillingness to go through with the medical procedure that will restore him to his former self also mirrors Tuvix' reluctance to return to his former individual selves.
