Stardate 50156.2: Harry Kim, disoriented and injured, finds himself in a circle of brutal thugs, his new neighbors in an alien prison camp. Harry finds help in the form of fellow prisoner Tom Paris, and they begin trying to escape, but their efforts are hindered by rising tempers, caused by implants that stimulate random, violent impulses. Janeway receives word that Kim and Paris have been convicted of a terrorist bombing on a planet they were visiting, and that the sentence – lifetime imprisonment in an inpenetrable location – has already been carried out. Paris and Kim find that the only escape possible from their prison is through a chute that is protected by a lethal force field, but during an attempt to short out the chute’s defenses they are attacked and Tom suffers a severe stab wound. The Voyager crew track down the real terrorists, but by the time Janeway can win a confession and clear her crewmates’ names, their cellmates may have murdered them – or they may have killed each other.

Stardate not given: En route back to Voyager, the shuttle carrying Paris and Torres is boarded by two unfamiliar alien lifeforms, who render the Voyager crewmembers unconscious and then leave. Voyager recovers the shuttle, but as the Doctor treats the badly injured Paris, he suffers from an increasing memory loss that he first encountered while running an opera program on the holodeck. Kes notices the Doctor’s forgetfulness and alerts Torres to the problem. One easy solution would be to completely reinitialize the Doctor, but he would lose every memory of the past two years. Trying to salvage the wealth of information and relationships the Doctor has established, Torres calls up a holodeck diagnostic simulation of the Doctor’s creator, Dr. Zimmerman. In the meantime, Janeway’s decision to stealthily pass through the territory claimed by a hive of insectoid beings may result in Voyager being destroyed by the aliens’ sheer numbers.

Stardate 50203.1: As Voyager ferries some telepathic Delta Quadrant denizens from a colony to their home world, B’Elanna experiences an intense dream about a member of their race, even though the object of her fascination is not one of Voyager’s passengers. B’Elanna’s dreams take stranger turns as they progress along a continuing path, telling her a specific story from the past, from the point of view of one of the passengers. Though allegations of telepathic interference are denied, B’Elanna finally encounters the person whose memories have been transmitted to her – an elderly woman who dies immediately after sending B’Elanna the last of her experiences involving a rebel faction of the aliens’ population which was massacred for opposing the government. B’Elanna believes that the woman whose life she experienced was murdered by someone trying to cover up the truth about the alien’s violent history – and since she now possesses the secret, she may be next.

Stardate 50063.2: On a visit to a monastery on an alien world, Kes and Neelix visit a shrine. When Kes approaches it, an energy field knocks her out, and a government official informs the crew that Kes has been punished by the world’s ancient spirits for trespassing on holy ground. Beamed to Voyager’s sickbay, Kes is slowly dying and the Doctor can offer no alternatives to save her. Janeway beams down to the planet to undergo any voyage of discovery necessary to save Kes, but her path is less than straightforward and may not yield any useful information.

Stardate not given: A brief encounter with a vessel whose lone occupant claims to be a Federation time scout from 500 years in the future results in a fierce firefight. The future captain describes a cataclysmic disaster in the 29th century resulting from an incident that Voyager is about to initiate. The timeship is damaged in the ensuing battle and falls back into the temporal rift through which it arrived, which also drags Voyager in. Voyager is taken back to Earth, 1996, and faint signs are detected of the timeship. Janeway, Chakotay, Paris and Tuvok beam down incognito to search for the wayward vessel, but unknown to them their own ship has been detected in orbit by an astronomy graduate named Rain Robinson. Rain contacts computer magnate Henry Starling, who is in possession of the timeship while its original occupant languishes on the streets of Los Angeles. Tom and Tuvok make their way to Griffith Observatory to erase Rain’s evidence of Voyager’s presence, but she catches them in the act and is hot on their trail as one of Starling’s employees attempts to kill them all. Janeway and Chakotay break into Starling’s office and discover that he has already contaminated the timeline, using the timeship’s technology to jump-start the computer revolution. Starling finds the uninvited guests and threatens them, but Harry, left in command of Voyager, rescues them just in time. But Starling still has the timeship – and worse yet, Voyager’s low-orbit rescue run has been detected by cameras on 20th century Earth.

Stardate not given: Tuvok and Paris enlist Rain’s help in contacting Voyager and setting a trap for Starling which involves pinpointing his location to allow a transporter kidnap from a shuttlecraft. Starling, however, has two tricks up his sleeve – the Doctor, equipped with a portable holo-emitter, is his hostage, and he has a device to thwart the shuttle’s transporter. The shuttle’s systems overload and the shuttle, piloted by Chakotay and Torres, crashes in the Arizona desert, but the Doctor escapes as Voyager takes over transport of Starling. Chakotay and B’Elanna fall into the hands of a cult militia group, but are rescued by Tuvok and the newly independent Doctor. Starling escapes and launches the timeship despite Janeway’s warnings, but his scheme for Earth’s future won’t exactly unfold as planned.

Stardate 50348.1: Voyager’s crew barely manages to rescue three occupants of a battle-damaged spacecraft, one of whom dies in sickbay immediately after transport. When Voyager returns the survivors to their planet, an official beams aboard and is killed by Kes, who also kills the transporter chief and struggles with Janeway. Kes and the other refugees steal a shuttlecraft and run for it. Kes’ body has been taken over by Tieran, a power-mad dictator who has developed the ability to transfer his consciousness into the minds of others to insure his immortality. Tieran kills the rightful ruler of his people and assumes power, trying to coerce the youngest heir into backing his coup. The elder heir, Demis, has beamed aboard Voyager to coordinate efforts to restore the original government, and despite his overtures of war, Janeway still insists on trying to recover Kes in body and spirit. Kes also intends to break free of Tieran’s influence, but he proves to be a formidable enemy.

Stardate 50425.1: Janeway and Neelix return from a diplomatic mission to find Voyager adrift and the crew unconscious, concentrated in a few areas of the ship. They find evidence of alien lifeforms that can punch their way through doors and equipment, and a chance encounter with one of the aliens results in Neelix’s disappearance. Janeway arms herself as she tries to find out what has happened to her crew, and encounters and kills another of the alien lifeforms, but not before she has been infected by an insect-like airborne virus. She makes her way to sickbay and the Doctor describes an ill-fated humanitarian mission that resulted in the infection of the entire Voyager crew. The virus breeds as a microscopic organism and grows to its insect-like size to leave its victims’ bodies, finally evolving into a monster-sized attacker that seeks out new prey. Janeway must find a way to single-handedly rid Voyager of a scourge that outnumbers her by a factor of billions to one.

Stardate 50460.3: The crew begins an analysis of an unusual phenomenon called an inversion nebula which might provide fresh insight into the nature of plasma reactions. Harry falls in love with a holodeck character and when Tuvok attempts to help him use Vulcan mind-control techniques to overcome his infatuation with a computer-generated subroutine, the crew discovers that the object of Harry’s desires is actually an alien life form which has used the holodeck to interact with the crew. But Tuvok’s attempts to help set off a cascade of jealousy which endangers the entire ship.

Stardate not given: While on a planetary mission, the captain and Chakotay crash and are killed by the Vidiians. Suddenly they are back aboard the shuttle approaching the planet where they recognize the sense of deja-vu. This time they recognize a Vidiian ship and attempt to outrun it, but they die under enemy fire in space, and they loop back to the beginning of the sequence once again. This time they make it back to the ship, but Chakotay no longer has any memory of the time loop and Janeway has the Doctor examine her. This time it turns out that she has the Vidiian phage and is shocked when the Doctor euthanizes her against her will to keep the phage from spreading to the crew. But she comes back yet again to the shuttle with Chakotay where this time they fly into a bright spatial anomaly, whereupon Janeway suddenly finds herself on the planet where she sees Chakotay trying to revive another iteration of herself. They beam back to Voyager where the Captain dies yet again. This time she meets her dead father as the crew undergoes a period of mourning for their captain. But while her father seems to be providing answers for her, it seems as if he has an agenda of his own.
