Janeway, Seven, Tuvok and much of the crew are living ordinary lives on an industrial planet, with no memory of Voyager at all.
Red alert: the full plot, ending included. Haven't watched yet?REVEAL SYNOPSIS
Kathryn Janeway starts a new job at a power plant on the planet Quarra, where she catches the eye of a friendly co-worker, Jaffen. Seven, under her birth name Annika Hansen, is the plant's efficiency monitor, Tom Paris talks his way into bartending, and Tuvok suffers disturbing flashes of memory that doctors call dysphoria syndrome. None of them remembers Voyager. Returning from a mission in the Delta Flyer, Chakotay, Kim and Neelix find the ship almost empty, kept running by the Emergency Command Hologram while it dodges salvage ships. They learn the crew was taken to Quarra after the ship struck a mine, and Chakotay and Neelix go down in disguise to find them. They locate B'Elanna and beam her up, though she believes she is being kidnapped. The episode ends with Chakotay cornered by the police while Quarren ships open fire on Voyager.
