[edit] Summary

[edit] Closed timeline

The facts in this section happen in a closed timeline, which was canceled by Captain Janeway's action. Thus they never happened in the regular timeline, which is described in next section.

In 2376, USS Voyager received a distress call from a small ship. Sensors revealed the ship had one Ocampan lifeform on board. It was an aged Kes, who requested to be beamed aboard Voyager. When Captain Janeway questioned her motives, Kes responded by ramming Voyager with her small ship and beaming into the Starfleet vessel. She made her way to engineering, using her powers to cause extensive damage along the way and to injure a security team who tried to stop her.

She reached the warp core and killed B'Elanna Torres with an energy pulse. Then she somehow used the warp core to travel back in time to 2371, shortly after Voyager had become trapped in the Delta Quadrant.

In 2371, there were now two Keses, the one that belonged to that time and the one that had traveled back in time and had regained her young aspect, and was confused with the former one by members of the crew, because the aged Kes had transformed herself into a duplicate of the one from the previous timeline. As a result of the temporal distortion, Tuvok experienced premonitions, which he never had before, and general sickness. After several episodes, he asked to be relieved of his duty on the bridge. As a response to Tuvok's symptoms, Janeway instructed the computer to run a continuous scan around him. When he had another precognition, Janeway checked the scan record, finding tachyon spikes, a sign of time travel.

Meanwhile, the time-displaced Kes kidnapped her younger self and hid her in Hydroponics. She was angry because she was afraid the Ocampa wouldn't accept her after she had developed her powers. She accused Janeway of having brought her away from her world, and Tuvok to have forced her into developing her powers too early. She appeared to have had a bad time after she left Voyager. She wanted to prevent her younger self from developing her powers, and made a deal with the Vidiians to attack and capture the ship, while taking the younger Kes back to Ocampa.

This attempt was thwarted by Captain Janeway, who killed the older Kes when she was knocked off-balance during a Vidiian attack, and had the younger Kes record a hologram that would dissuade the Kes of 2376 from making the time jump.

[edit] Resulting timeline

The intervention of 2376's Kes in 2371 alters the timeline. In the resulting timeline, in 2376 Janeway knew what to expect from Kes, and was prepared for her arrival.

When Kes' ship approached, Janeway had the warp core shut down, the whole deck including engineering evacuated, and played the hologram Kes had recorded before leaving Voyager. The holographic image reminded her that she was responsible for her own fate. Kes responded emotionally and ceased hostilities. Janeway offered her a place on the crew but she refused, opting instead to return to her homeworld.

As a result of Kes changing her mind, the previous timeline ceases to exist, Kes does not travel back in time and B'Elanna Torres is not killed.

[edit] Memorable Quotes

"We've known each other for how long?"
"Approximately twenty years."
"We've served on three Starships together. I was present at your daughter's kolinahr. I consider you one of my closest friends."
"And I regard you with the same esteem."
"I've always been honest with you, but you've been keeping something from me."
"I don't know what you mean."
"Don't you? It took exhaustive research, sifting through teraquads of data, separating fact from rumor, but eventually I arrived at the truth."
"Captain?"
"Happy birthday."

- Janeway and Tuvok

"It was a fire hazard."

- Tuvok after reluctantly blowing out his birthday candle

"What do you remember?"
"I was in airponics, and then I felt dizzy, and then I was watching myself."
"Yourself?"
"Computer, deactivate EMH."

- Tuvok, Young Kes, The Doctor and Janeway

"What?"
"Just looking."
"See anyone you know?"

[edit] Background Information

• This is the only episode in which any direct, face-to-face interaction occurs between Seven of Nine and Kes, and the only time dialog occurs between them. It is a single line, from Seven to Kes: "State your intentions."
• This episode marks the final appearances of Kes (Jennifer Lien), Ensign Samantha Wildman (Nancy Hower), and the Vidiians on the series.
• This episode is the third and final episode to include the complete cast of the show from all seasons. The previous two episodes to do this were "Scorpion, Part II" and "The Gift".
• In the 2371 portions of the episode, Tuvok is (and is referred to as) Lieutenant, but he has the rank insignia of Lieutenant Commander (although this may not be an error, as the same wardrobe mistake was present in most of Season 1, where the majority of this episode is set). On the other hand they didn't repeat the other wardrobe mistake of Season 1, Tom Paris showing as full Lieutenant when later he was shown with his real rank that time, which was Lieutenant junior grade.
• The cockpit of Kes' ship as she enters Voyager is a reuse of the cockpit of the timeship Aeon that Captain Braxton used in the third season episode "Future's End".
• This episode first establishes the Starfleet guideline "Faster than light, no left or right" or "Maintain a linear trajectory wherever possible while at warp speed". This is the only episode in any of the modern Trek series to place a restriction on the movement of a vessel at warp speed. Consequently, this is the only episode where a starship is not able to maneuver at warp speeds.
• When Janeway gives Tuvok his birthday cake she mentions that he is approaching the "big three digits", but at this time Tuvok is already over 110 years old having been born in 2264.
• In this episode, the Doctor states to Janeway that as Ensign Wildman is carrying a half-Ktarian child, her pregnancy period is doubled. This confirms what many fans assumed to be the reason for Ensign Wildman's longer than normal pregnancy (which had actually lasted a year and a half in the show).
