Not really sure why they thought they needed and episode about evil Kes showing up and killing some people and travelling back in time to kill them all. I mean, I get that they changed her life in many ways, but it was clearly all something she wanted. I don't really get why she needed the complex plan with the Viidians though, with her powers couldn't she have just stolen a shuttlecraft? She can override command codes just by touching the panel and weapons are no threat to her so...
We open with Janeway talking to Tuvok about how she finally figured out his dark secret which turns out to be his birthday. She is called to the bridge, there is a ship with Ocampan life signs. It is Kes and she beams aboard and starts ripping the ship apart heading to engineering. She starts stealing power from the warp core and kills Torres when she tries to deactivate the core. She travels back to season one and heads to sickbay. She gets a hypo and knocks herself out and precedes to enact a plan to get them all taken apart by the Viidians so she can get home or something. Tuvok gets visions of the future which lets Janeway figure it all out somehow. She kills future Kes and we cut back to the future. We are in the opening with the birthday cake and then Kes shows up, but Janeway and Tuvok share a meaningful look and Janeway has engineering evacuated and the warp core shut down. Kes blasts her way in again but run into a hologram of herself from the past telling her to not be evil. That plus Janeway showing up with Tuvok and talking Kes down makes her abandon her plan and they decide to beam her back to her people?
Review: You may be able to tell from my brief and rambly summary that this episode doesn't make the most sense. I guess it makes sense to have a followup to Kes leaving the show, but this really isn't what I would have done.
