Finally, after five long years, an exhilarated crew of the U.S.S. Voyager finds a wormhole that will bring them back to the Alpha Quadrant. As the happy crew prepares to return to Earth, a skeptical Seven of Nine discovers that the wormhole may not be what it seems. She violates captain's orders and enlists The Doctor, little Naomi Wildman and an alien pilot, Qatai, to help her stop the ship from entering the wormhole.

• The wormhole is actually an enormous bioplasmic organism that feeds on antimatter and biomatter. It reads the crew's thoughts to manipulate them into entering the creature.
