Ten months after The Caretaker stranded Voyager in the Delta Quadrant, the ship encounters the alien's mate and a station full of Ocampa with heightened psychic powers. Kes, swept up by the possibility of expanding her own abilities, learns just how turbulent and potent they can be. The female Caretaker seeks revenge on Voyager, blaming Janeway for the death of her mate.

Kes: It's a long story... but I'd like to know what an Ocampa is doing on an alien space station.
Tanis: That is also a long story.

User Reviews

Obvious Evil

It was interesting to see ales have a chance to interact with other Ocampa, but this guy was just obviously evil and creepy.

Gee, you taught me to kill all the plants and almost kill Tuvoc, but life and death are the same and don't matter so no biggie? Sounds like a really positive influence.

Glad Kes got to kick some ESP butt, but otherwise this wasn't Trek at its best.
