4.09 The Year in Hell (part 2)

While the senior staff attempt to make repairs, Seven develops temporal shielding, which protects Voyager from Krenim attacks – but also disrupts an attempt by the ‘weapon ship’ to create another temporal incursion. The weapon ship confronts Voyager and beams Paris and Chakotay on board, then attempts to wipe Voyager from existence – literally – but Janeway is able to get away. On the weapon ship, Chakotay is convinced that he can work with the commander to create a solution that would only effect Voyager’s and the Krenim’s timeline. Paris is in confrontation, believing that the Krenim commander is deranged and that the only solution is escape. Chakotay is finally convinced when the commander wipes out yet another alien race in an attempt, not only to restore the Krenim empire, but more importantly to bring back his wife, whom he inadvertently wiped out in his first incursion. Convinced, Chakotay and Paris together help Janeway, who has joined forces with some aliens, to destroy the weapon ship. The result is that Voyager is brought back previous to the initial time, with no memory of what happened, and this time they avoid Krenim space. The commander is brought back to a time before he created the weapon ship, and, instead of doing more calculations, his wife convinces him to spend some time with her – so maybe he can avoid the same fate.

A very ambitious episode which probably makes no sense. Nit: Chakotay is from that rare tribe of native americans that can grow facial hair – or maybe it is simple evolution.
