She was actually a fairly good actress who was originally in Oubliette across from Jewel Staite, who would later become the engineer on firefly.
Tracey would always play characters that were a little bit offkilter, there was always something wrong. This was not really the fault of the character, but the way that Tracey portrayed the characters was what ignited our sympathy with those characters.
And that goes without saying in this episode as well, she is a very sad individual who doesn't really know how to help people with the gifts she has been given.
"I just deliver flowers, that's all I know how to do".
And it is that gift that allows her to interact with Monica, Who is able to actually show her how she can help.
We know that somehow somebody at this hospital is doing something illegitimate, there is just something odd going on, we don't know what it is initially. Eventually they reveal it for us. So it is in between us, who are watching the episode, Tracey Ellis/Audrey, Monica, and of course the person who is causing some problems- and the corpses keep on piling up, but they are not corpses, not quite yet. This gives Monica and Audrey time to do something positive about the situation. But not much time...
There are some pretty good special effects here, that give us a representation of what's happening. It's the image of the hospital floating in the ether that makes us ask what on earth is happening here?
And there is no real explanation of how this is happening, only why it is. Ultimately it is up to John Doggett to figure out when somebody is actually speaking to him from across a kind of chasm.
The last I ever saw Tracey was in an episode of Star Trek Voyager, she was Icheb's mother, the Borg teenager that Seven of Nine adopts. And she played the same kind of offkilter character there as well...
