| Director | David Livingston | |
| Synopsis | ||
| Seven of Nine shows some uncharacteristic emotion when three of the four Borg children leave the U.S.S. Voyager, but the Doctor confirms that she may just have malfunctioning ocular implants. The remaining young Borg, Icheb, then decides that he would like to join Starfleet Academy so that he can have more responsibility on the ship. When Seven later admits to suffering from some headaches, it is discovered that she needs a critical operation requiring a new Borg cortical node. It may be that Icheb is the only one who can save her and he secretly performs a dangerous procedure on himself and places his own life in jeopardy. | ||

| Notes | ||
|
The crew has built a brand new Delta Flyer. It is the same as the old design, with slight interior cosmetic differences. Azan and Rebi's homeworld is Wysanti. The Wysanti take in Mezoti. Icheb elects to remain on Voyager with Seven. Icheb removes his Cortical Node in order to save Seven of Nine. Because he is young, he was able to adapt without the node, though the recovery took weeks. Icheb's Academy entrance exam results are to be transferred in the next datastream. Janeway offers to administer the exam. If (when) he passes, the crew will instruct him in the classes. Tuvok was an instructor at the Academy at one time. This is consistent with Wesley Crusher on the Enterprise. | ||

The race is the first annual Antarian Trans-Stellar Rally. Even though it is a serious drain on resources, Janeway approves the race for morale reasons. Tom and Harry are testing the new Delta Flyer. However, Janeway took the new Flyer to salvage a Borg cortical node in the previous episode. B'Elanna begins to question that her relationship with Tom is going nowhere after he cancels another date to compete in the race. However, after talking to Seven, she decides to embrace his interests and replaces Harry as Tom's co-pilot. Irina sabotoges the Delta Flyer to cause a warp core breach. Tom proposes to B'Elanna. She accepts and they get married. (The wedding isn't shown.) | ||

| Director | Winrich Kolbe | |
| Synopsis | ||
| Tom and B'Elanna try out Tom's new holodeck program -- a mid-20th century movie theater -- only to find Bajoran crewman Tabor comatose in the front row. Though still alive, Tabor has suffered an attack that left his skull cobwebbed with microfractures. Two more crew members soon suffer the same fate, and all three are former Maquis. Chakotay decides that the attacker must be a member of Voyager's original Starfleet contingent, and puts his fellow ex-Maquis on alert (as well as ordering them to arm themselves). Rumors and paranoia run rampant as Tuvok tries to investigate the increasing number of assaults, but when B'Elanna and Chakotay become the next victims, these worries seem well founded. Tuvok's obsessive quest to solve the crime wave ultimately leads him to conclude that he himself is the prime suspect. | ||

This episode is a social commentary on HMOs and our health system. "The Allocator" is the computer that controls the hospital and calculates the T.C. (Treatment Coefficient) of each patient, which determines which level of treatment they qualify for. Level Blue is the highest level of care. Level Red is filled with patients who "do not contribute to society." Level White is the morgue. | ||

| The crew of the U.S.S. Voyager gets an unexpected bonus in their regular "mail" beamed from Starfleet in the Alpha Quadrant. When a hologram of Reg Barclay appears telling the crew of a new plan that can get them home within days, everyone is elated. The plan seems dangerous in theory, but the Barclay hologram persuades the crew the risk is minimal. Meanwhile, back at Starfleet, the real Reg Barclay is completely unaware of his doppelganger's actions. However, while the crew goes ahead and modifies Voyager to make the trip safely, the Doctor, who has previously met Barclay notices differences in the hologram's behavior and tries to convince Captain Janeway to deactivate the holo-Barclay. Meanwhile, the real Barclay realizes his hologram has been hijacked and re-programmed by a trio of Ferengi. When he learns their motive, Barclay enlists Counselor Deanna Troi's help. | ||

| Synopsis | ||
| While performing experiments on the Delta Flyer, Seven of Nine, Harry Kim and the Doctor are attacked by a Delta Quadrant race who view "photonics" such as the Doctor as mortal enemies. With time running out, the Doctor must hide in plain sight -- taking refuge in Seven of Nine's Borg implants. Taking over her consciousness, the Doctor must convincingly behave as Seven of Nine to survive. The Doctor's delight in experiencing human sensations, however, clashes with Seven's strict physical and mental disciplines -- and is only exacerbated by romantic advances from the alien captain toward Seven and The Doctor's attraction toward a female alien with whom he works. | ||

Voyager sets down on an uninhabited planet to make their repairs. Janeway assigns Icheb to Engineering during the repairs. Seeing his potential, B'Elanna takes an interest in him, which Icheb mistakes for romantic interest. The Kraylor ship is not delivering medical supplies. It is a prototype for cloaking technology. Loken and Dayla are engineers, not medical doctors. | ||

| Synopsis | ||
| The U.S.S. Voyager answers a distress call from a Hirogen training facility, only to find a holographic environment littered with Hirogen corpses. The holographic technology given to the Hirogen by Captain Janeway for hunting training has been modified to the point where the prey have become the hunters. The holograms have not only become self-aware, but are essentially a new race, seeking refuge from "organic" slavery and brutality. Seeking to liberate one of "their own," the holograms kidnap the Doctor, who soon finds himself torn between his loyalties to Voyager and his holographic brethren. | ||

| Synopsis | ||
| A temporal anomaly strikes the U.S.S. Voyager, hitting Chakotay point-blank and splitting different areas of the ship into different time-frames from its history. After the Doctor creates a chronoton serum to counteract the effects of the temporal bolt, Chakotay finds he is the only member of the crew that has free range of the ship.

Astrometrics is 17 years in the future when Naomi and Icheb are adults. They detect that Voyager is shattered into 37 time frames. The Bridge is stuck in time before the ship entered the Badlands. Engineering is in the time when Seska and the Kazon had control of Voyager ("Basics, Part II"). Cargo Bay 2 is in the time when The Borg were on Voyager, complete with a fully assimilated Seven of Nine ("Scorpion, Part II"). Sickbay is stuck on Stardate 49624, which puts it in Season 2 before "Tuvix" (Stardate 49655.2). Chakotay and Janeway are also chased by a macrovirus in one of the corridors ("Macrocosm"). One of the Holodecks is running a Captain Proton chapter that takes place after "Bride of Chaotica". A transporter room has B'Elanna and Ayala in their Maquis clothing, just beamed to Voyager after their ship and the Caretaker exploded. | ||

The Doctor's holonovel is titled "Photons Be Free", and features a highly unflattering portrayal of the Voyager crew. In the holonovel, you play an oppressed EMH doctor onboard the Starship Vortex, who is treated badly by Captain Jenkins, Commander Katanay (a Bajoran), Lt. Cmdr. Tulack, Lt. Marseilles, Ensign Kimble (a Trill), and Lt. Torrey. The only character who is sympathetic is "Three of Eight", who is in love with the EMH. Roxann Dawson appears without her Klingon makeup as Lt. Torrey. The Federation Arbitrator is unwilling to grant the Doctor rights as a person, but does agree that he has the right to have his original work recalled. | ||

The Captain's willingness to part with such a crucial piece of Voyager's technology without a fight disturbs Chakotay, who turns to the Doctor for help.

Two-Hour Series Finale. The beginning of the episode takes place on the 10th anniversary of Voyager's return to Earth. The journey took 23 years and they lost 22 crew members, including Seven. In the future, Janeway is an admiral. Barclay is a Commander and an instructor at the Academy. Harry is captain of the U.S.S. Rhode Island. Back in "present day" Voyager, Neelix appears in an on-screen communication to play a game of kodis-kot with Seven. Seven and Chakotay have started a real romance. Admiral Janeway brings transphasic torpedoes and ablative armor to the present. They add the armor generators to the hull. Alice Krige played the Borg Queen in the motion picture Star Trek: First Contact (Susanna Thompson had played the Borg Queen in all previous Voyager episodes). The last line spoken in this episode is the same as the last line in the premiere, spoken by Janeway: "Set a course... for home." This episode won two 2001 Emmy Awards, for Outstanding Special Visual Effects and Outstanding Music Composition. | ||
