Storyline

Kes returns to Voyager. Aged, angry, and more powerful than ever, she literally tears through the ship. Using her abilities in combination with Voyager's warp core, Kes travels back in time to Voyager's first year in the Delta Quadrant. Her agenda is to kidnap her younger self and return her to Ocampa, even if it means turning her former friends over to the Vidiians. The only one to suspect anything is Tuvok, who is experiencing intermittent visions and memories of the future.

The return of Kes

When it becomes clear that the passenger in an approaching ship is an elderly Kes the captain happily gives her permission to come aboard, as soon as the shields are lowered Kes rams her ship into Voyager and beams aboard. Leaving a trail of destruction she heads to engineering where she kills B'Elanna then using the energy from the warp core she travels back in time to a point about a year after she joined the crew. She changes her appearance to look like her former self before stunning her younger self and hiding her in a drawer. While nobody realises she isn't the young Kes she has an effect on Tuvok who has flashes of the future; in one he sees Naomi and follows her to the cargo bay where he sees Seven and the Borg children. At first it is assumed it is just an hallucination to when Janeway asks the Doctor she learns that Ensign Wildman is indeed pregnant with a girl. While this is going on Voyager is trying to keep clear of the Vidiians but Kes is giving them information so they can seize Voyager and she can take her younger self back to Ocampa.

Kes was one of my favourite characters in the early seasons so it was great to see her again. It was interesting that instead of being full of happy memories about her time on Voyager she felt bitter and wants to change her past so she doesn't stay aboard and also make the crew suffer; blaming them for encouraging her to develop her mental skills which led to her having to leave the ship. Jennifer Lien was great in the role of Kes, it was a shame that she got dropped from the cast at the end of series three. I'm glad that her return was in an episode with a good story. The way time travel is used nicely saves B'Elanna and gives Kes a happy ending.
