Janeway and the crew are excited by the long-range discovery of a wormhole. However, upon closer inspection, the hole is only a few millimeters wide, offering no escape from the Delta quadrant. A micro-probe reveals that the Alpha quadrant is on the other side of the wormhole, as is something that is scanning the probe. This turns out to be a Romulan ship, whose commander is quite suspicious of Voyager’s intent and doubts their location. Slowly, he begins to believe Janeway’s sincere speeches and to empathize with their plight. Meanwhile, Torres discovers a way to transport matter through the wormhole. The Romulan agrees to be the first being to transport. It is when he is on Voyager that Tuvok discovers that he is from 20 years in the past, meaning that the crew cannot beam over without polluting the timeline.
In the meantime, Kes asks the captain to help the doctor gain more respect from the crew. She even kisses the doctor goodbye when she thinks she is going to have to leave his program aboard the ship when they transport to the alpha quadrant.
A good episode, filled with ups and downs, and with good character development by the doctor, who ends the episode by asking for a name.
