3 aliens are rescued from a ship that has been attacked and is about to explode; one dies in sick bay while being administered by Kes. Janeway agrees to transport the two remaining aliens to their homeworld. But when they get close, suddenly Kes, of all people (who has been acting strangely) kills the transporter Ensign and injures Janeway, and, along with the aliens, steals a shuttlecraft and transports to the planet’s surface. There, she kills the current ruler and seduces his easily swayed son. Why? She has been inhabited by the spirit of a violent former ruler who wishes to regain power. But although he seems to be in control of her body, she fights back with her mind, causing headaches and influencing decisions. Eventually, through Kes’ efforts, Janeway is able to lead a strike force and apply a device that purges the evil influence from Kes’ body.
This is a great change for Kes (Jennifer Lien) to show another dimension to her acting ability, and she does it well.
