    "Spiral" - Voyager encounters unusual structures that spiral to no destination in particular. When they take the ship closer to investigate, they are taken to a different dimension where the ship spirals forward without an ability to stop. With no way to stop, the crew is forced to endure the journey while awaiting to arrive to their destination. Meanwhile, a double date Icheb and Naomi have with a pair of Ocampa visiting the ship goes badly, leading Icheb and Naomi to seek advice from Tom and B’Elanna.

    “My Two Senses” - Janeway has an accident while making a necessary repair to a shuttle craft mid-flight, which deprives her of her 5 typical senses, but gives her heightened instincts to sense an impending danger and the ability to telepathically communicate with an alien race. Cut off from interactions with anyone shipboard, she must work with these aliens to save her friends, who believe her incapacitated. (It's on a wavelength even Tuvok isn't sensitive to, so he doesn't know either.) Meanwhile, Tom and B'Elanna study the craft in a holoprogram simulation of its current state, as it's too dangerous to work on in person, to figure out what went wrong.

    "Graced"- Voyager's crew receives a visit from a female apparition said to bring good fortune to those she graces with her presence...or so it seems. The woman was believed to have been murdered and let her assailant think he'd succeeded while she escaped, with the help of technology that sustained her life and gave her a phantom existence. Not only is her ghost device failing, but the would-be killer is currently visiting Voyager...and she doesn't know who it is. B'Elanna and The Doctor try to save her life, while Tuvok looks to find the would-be killer before he finishes the job.

    Could be a great criminal story.
    Or a ghost story.

    I had to look up the definition of the word to figure out what I was going to do with it (I already knew vaguely but thought there might be another lesser known definition I could exploit).

    "Stone Tools" - Voyager succeeds in returning to Earth – only that it’s the Earth of the Stone Age. And as their most recent mission resulted in a major theft of supplies and backup reserves and major damage to the ship, the Voyager crew is forced to rely on the stone tools of the era to repair the damage. But how well will the crew integrate with their stone age ancestors as they try to obtain the tools they require?

    Meanwhile, Neelix, Tuvok and B’Elanna take the Delta Flyer to follow up on multiple leads of dilithium across several moons of the outer planets of the Sol system.

    “The Malon Conservationist Consortium” - The crew of Voyager attend the dedication for a Malon space-nature preserve as guests of honor. The natural spaceborne creatures living in the park begin to turn against each other, endangering the lives of those in the environmental interpretive center. While The Doctor and Kim try to uncover the problem, Janeway and the rest of the crew attempt to corral the flocks of berserk lifeforms. (Maybe Cowboy Tom Paris does a rodeo roundup in the Delta Flyer)

    "Daily Bread" - Voyager encounters a nomadic collective of aliens promoting an alien-style evangelicalism. The crew finds the sermons delivered to be spiritually uplifting and slowly transform Voyager into a place of worship. When the Doctor learns that the aliens are in fact a biomimetic lifeform – specifically the Silver Blood – he tries to convince the crew that they are not who them seem. But after years in the Delta Quadrant, the crew ignores the doctor’s warning about them, choosing to value increasing their morale. How can the Doctor protect the crew from what he perceives as an insidious threat?

    “Congregation” - Part two. The Doctor lures the Silver Blood replicants into the holodeck, enlisting the aid of the other holo-characters to defeat the "roving band of bandits". This causes more than a little confusion when characters from each program each recognize him as his different aliases. Meanwhile, Naomi Wildman has her own "Home Alone" style caper when two of the aliens take on the shape of crew members to hijack Voyager.

    Password: Under the influence of alien mind control, Janeway sets Voyager's self destruct sequence to blow up Voyager in two hours, before collapsing in a coma. The rest of the crew must search the ship for evidence of her secret password for turning it off before they're all blown to bits.

    "A Really Bad Day" - An away team becomes separated after a transporter malfunction, with each member having to deal with some kind of problem (quicksand, floating in a river, blinding blizzard, etc) Meanwhile, The Doctor tries to play referee between the Delaney sisters, who aren't speaking to each other after a misunderstanding leads to hurt feelings.

    Shroud: Voyager slowly begins to get darker and darker, despite their attempts to increase illumination. Also, unsettling dreams, sounds, images, music, and odors occur at random, and the ship begins going progressively slower. An increasing sense of foreboding fills the ship, as it gets darker and slower, slower and darker. It happens that a portal to an alternative dimension that drains energy has opened within the ship, and it must be closed with a massive energy discharge at the right frequency. Once this is done, a much more brightly lit Voyager flies smoothly onward.

    Maximum Yield

    Q places a post-Endgame Janeway back in time into the events of Scorpion. Given what she learned about the Borg and Species 8472, and the consequences of their pact in the aftermath, would she make the same choices again? For example, is it possible to save both 7 of 9 and species 1-1-6 ?

    There is no B-story as such, but there are scenes of the crew without Janeway talking about why she seems unusually conflicted and unsettled about the entire situation.

    Next episode: Atonement.

    "Atonement" - When B’Elanna is found brutally murdered in her quarters, it leads to a major investigation on the ship. Tom, Joe Carey, Vorik, Seven of Nine, Chakotay, and Icheb are all considered suspects, all interrogated by Tuvok. However, the Doctor is not convinced B’Elanna is dead at all, after detecting both mimetic DNA and chroniton signatures from the future. With this information, Voyager manages to uncover a cloaked Negh’Var battlecruiser from the mid 25th century off their port bow, and the commander had simply kidnapped B’Elanna and has her safely in holding. His reasoning: to find an honorable way to atone for a mistake B’Elanna house makes in the future decades after retuning home. Apparently, time travelling to erase a Klingon House becomes an acceptable form of atonement in Klingon society in the 25th century.

    Meanwhile, Samantha Wildman and Harry, while working together to reveal the cloaked Negh’Var, have a sudden one-night stand. At the end of the episode, its reveal that Sam Wildman is pregnant with Harry’s baby.

    Next episode – “Waste Management”

    Waste Management: Voyager encounters a red dwarf system where the star is growing increasingly unstable, and deadly radiation is pervading the system and beyond. It seems the Malon have been dumping their waste into the star to dispose of it, with very nasty results. When primitive animal life is found on one of the planets, Voyager must find a way to stop the destruction before a potential future civilization is poisoned. Meant to explain why the Malon don't just dump their waste in stars (which theoretically should destroy anything).

    "The Boys Are Back in Town" - Harry, Tom, Chakotay, and The Doctor visit San Francisco via holographic avatar in order to appear at a special event. Amused by the idea of existing as holograms, the first two try out a variety of different holo-stunts, but quickly become annoyed by having to all stay in one place. When the holotech begins to overload and malfunction, they decide to project one at a time, which leads to chaos when they are taken hostage by criminal alien visitors to Earth who want the guys to take them to the Delta Quadrant to escape justice (mistakenly believing they can do so). Back on Voyager, the 3 real crewmen are in medical crisis (due to the malfunction), and The Doctor must divide his time between San Fran and Voyager, trying to free the others from being stuck there, holographically, which is messing with their real selves. (somehow)

    "Hung Jury" - In the 2410s, Captain Harry Kim of the USS Rhode Island is on trial for a major incident on the Federation-Klingon border that triggered a new Federation-Klingon war. While participating a task force that included Captain La Forge of the USS Challenger, Captain Chakotay of the USS Voyager Captain Beverly Crusher of the Pasteur, and Nog of the Nova-class Defiant, the lead ship - commanded by Admiral Riker - was destroyed by Klingon battlecruisers while trying to protect a flotilla of Terellian medical ships. This led to a major battle where Klingons were able to bring in reinforcements from former Romulan space. It is believed that Harry failed to provide adequate cover for all the other ship, leading to every one of their destruction. While Chakotay and his wife Tessa, and the Terellian flotilla captain Androna testify in his defense, La Forge, Nog, and Beverly all testify against Harry, claiming he got their crews killed. Admiral Janeway presides over the preceding, with Tuvok, Tom, B’Elanna, and the Doctor also on the panel. But before she can render a verdict, Ducane beams Harry away onto the Relativity.

    Ducane basically explains to Harry that he must delay an early retain of Voyager to the Alpha Quadrant to change history; an early return led to a series of interstellar unfolding in an unfavorable way for the Federation, culminating in a devastating, multi-generational war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire that spirals wildly out of control when various unaligned species start taking sides. Before he can send Harry back to prevent it, Admiral Janeway arrives in the future, aiming to bring Harry back to his time, where they will render him guilty. A phaser fight breaks out on the Relativity as Harry is beamed to Voyager in the 2370s. Harry is beamed into one of the nacelles and managed to shut it down with a tool given to him by Ducane, days before Voyager were to arrive in a system that had their own slingshot. As Voyager does not arrive in the system in time in this reset timeline, a major war breaks out within the system - stemming from jurists that where hung by an oppressive government, which the Voyager had originally prevented, and thus allowed them to use the slingshot to foster good relations - forcing Voyager to change course.

    “Honeymoon Phase” - Janeway calls a senior staff meeting after running an efficiency analysis, to determine the cause. All senior staff members report no obvious reasons for the behavior, except, everybody is being inordinately nice to each other; polite to a fault, affectionate to loved ones, etc. As peaceful as it appears to be, they realize that this state of kindness is unnatural and determine to disrupt it. Ultimately, the cause is revealed to be an alien power who regard Voyager as a threat and decide to "kill them with kindness" by putting them in a lovey-dovey state that causes them to overlook or dismiss needed fixes and problems.

    Residue

    A singularity is causing disruptions in the normal cause of space-time. Events become chaotic and non-linear and it's no longer always possible to determine the proper temporal order of events, which event influenced which other event. The engineering crew determines it is only possible to fix the disruption by deploying probes in a circular path around the singularity, all in communication with one another and exchanging measurements to determine the exact effect it has on spacetime. However, reaching this conclusion and implementing this plan is also made a lot harder because of the aforementioned reason of the usual order of events breaking up.

    (Very loosely inspired on the Residue Theorem from complex analysis)

    Next episode: Refraction.
