2.6 cold fire

The trail to the second ‘caretaker’, who has the power to send Voyager back to the alpha quadrant, leads to an array similar but smaller to the original, and a community of Ocampa (same as Kes). These Ocampa, along with their caretaker Sisteria (who remains hidden), have developed their psychic powers. Their leader wants Kes to join them, and for good reason; Sisteria blames Voyager for killing the first caretaker and plans to destroy the ship. Sisteria appears in the form of a little girl and starts suspending bleeding (but unharmed) members of the crew in mid air, including Janeway, but Kes uses her rapidly developing powers to stop her. Tuvok traps her behind a force field, but Janeway insists on letting her be free, at which she realizes that she was probably wrong about Voyager killing the other caretaker. Unfortunately, she leaves, once again meaning that Voyager is still stranded in the delta quadrant and the show must go on.
