Janeway gives Tuvok a cake after finding out it’s his birthday. By the look on his face, she could’ve given him syphilis. No time for awkwardness though, she’s called to the bridge to find Kes appealing to board the ship. Remember her? She was Seven before Seven. She crashes her ship into Voyager after beaming aboard and blowing shit up. She gets to engineering and uses the warpcore to go back in time (*sigh* yes, it’s Braga again) to season one. I’m not going to have to watch all of this again am I? Back in the past Kes poses as herself from that period after knocking herself out. Tuvok starts having premonitions of the future inexplicably. At one point he mentions the Delta Flyer before it’s even built and says as an excuse that he was thinking of another ship. I often do. Future Kes gets in contact with the Vidiians to give them the shield codes so they’re able to battle the ship. She’s been watching Star Trek Generations too. Eventually due to Tuvok knowing that Ensign Wildman is pregnant Janeway takes his premonitions seriously. Maybe he’s just a gossip. As the Vidiians are attacking, Janeway figures out someone helped them and finds Kes bringing the unconscious Kes to the Vidiian ship. She appeals to her, but the reason Kes is doing this is because she doesn’t fit in anymore with her ideas of exploration. Uh huh. She was bringing past Kes to the homeworld for a normal life. A fight ensues and Kes is killed. Back in the future the start of the episode happens again except this time Janeway knows what will happen. She uses this and a hologram of past Kes to appeal to her. Kes relents and goes to the homeworld.
So much for hoping for three not bad episodes in a row. This was the last episode with Kes and it’s a shame it’s this one as I quite liked Kes, she was one of the few with potential.
