When this episode opens it looks like a flashback as we see Captain Janeway taking command of Voyager but then we see somebody who should not be there; Seven of Nine. It soon becomes clear that she has been sent back in time by the crew of the 29th century time-ship USS Relativity in order to find a device that will destroy Voyager. This device was installed by somebody from the future and will cause temporal anomalies to tear the ship apart. The problem is finding when the device will be installed. When Seven is detected she is beamed out but is killed in the process. With the benefit of time travel she is recruited again and sent to another likely time frame two years before she joined Voyager's crew. When she returns there is an unusual sensor reading which Janeway remembers has happened once before; when she first came aboard Voyager. Seven is captured but manages to persuade the captain that she isn't a threat and is trying to save the ship. Seven is shocked when she finds who is trying to plant the device, it is none other than Braxton, the captain of the Relativity. The only person more shocked is Captain Braxton who is promptly arrested for the actions of his future self. This doesn't stop future-Braxton though as he manages to escape, he is chased through time by Seven but the constant time jumps are starting to effect her.
This was a good episode and while it isn't too easy to explain the multi-time line plot it makes sense when one watches it. It was nice to see Seven in a standard Star Fleet uniform when she goes time travelling, it is a pity they didn't stick with this look rather than her usual excessively figure-hugging costume.
