Last night at 1 am, I watched :

Ashes To Ashes

A mysterious female alien contacts Voyager, claiming to be Ensign Lyndsay Ballard, who had been killed on an away mission years earlier.

The aliens... the Kobali.. find her lifeless body in a hollowed out photon torpedo, having been launched into space.

They bring her back to life, but, as her dna and body are badly damaged, she is changed and now is mostly Kobali.

She escapes after two years and finds Voyager. She is able to convince them it is really her.

The Doctor is unable to change her dna back to human, but is able to make her look as she used to.

Harry and Ensign Lyndsay Ballard become lovers. Harry was unable to pursue a relationship with her before she "died ", and sees this as a second chance.

Ensign Ballard begins to regress and change back into a Kobali. The Doctor tells her that she will have to have treatments twice a day to look like her former self.

She also sees where she no longer fits in on Voyager.

The Kobali who had been pursuing her find her, and fire on Voyager. With shields almost gone, Ensign Ballard voluntarily goes back to the Kobali homeworld.

Harry and her get a chance to say goodbye, unlike before when she "died. "

Actress Kim Rhodes played Ensign Ballard.
