The Gift

Seven Of Nine, the Borg drone that Voyager severed from the collective, tries to resist as her natural human physiology tries to regenerate. It's up to Captain Janeway to convince her to embrace her humanity and join the Voyager crew. Meanwhile, Kes' telekinetic powers grow to such a point that she can no longer control them.

This is an excellent episode.

Kes rapidly begins to drift further away from the realm of the physical, even as Seven of Nine must deal with having been part of a larger thing - the Borg collective - and must now learn to cope with being "small" - an individual.

Kes takes a shuttle and disappears into another reality.. and throws Voyager almost 10,000 light years closer to Earth in the process!

Wow...

Last Kes episode, until that other one later in the series where she comes back pissed at Janeway for "abandoning her."

Day of Honor

While Seven of Nine struggles with her humanity, Captain Janeway tries to help a group of aliens whose species was almost entirely assimilated by the Borg. Meanwhile, the Klingon "Day of Honor" turns into a string of bad luck for B'Elanna.

This one is superb!

B'Elanna tries to do the KLingon Day Of Honor ritual ( In The holodeck. ), but she cannot handle the pain sticks. She fights off three KLingon warriors and flees the holodeck.

Later, in an attempt to take Voyager into a trans warp conduit, which Seven of Nine helps, the warp core begins to breach and must be ejected.

It is later determined that the breach was accidental, and that Seven had not purposely caused it.

Voyager had earlier given supplies to a race of aliens whose planet had been devastated by The Borg.

The aliens seize the warp core, which Tom and B'Elanna had taken a shuttle to bring back. The shuttle attempts to break the alien tractor beam, but an anti matter pulse is fed back to them through their own ray, and Tom and B'Elanna must don space suits and beam safely away from the shuttle before it explodes.

An ion wave reduces their oxygen supply from 24 hours to one half hour.

B'Elanna sees this as a time to admit to Tom something she has been afraid to tell him.... that she loves him.

Voyager arrives just in time to beam the two on board, take back the warp core and resume a course for home... Earth.


I have been taping extra copies of my favorite episodes, and will retape it when it is on again on Spike late tonight.
