Stardate 49011.0: Harry Kim is on a shuttle whose hull is going to breach, waiting for an emergency beam-out. The next moment, he finds himself in San Francisco, in bed with his fiancée Libby. It appears Harry was transferred to a parallel reality where Voyager disappeared without him and in which he has developed the engines for a new type of runabout, the Yellowstone class. Harry tries to get accustomed with his situation but eventually decides to do something to change it. He uses his security code to access classified data on Voyager, and he finds out that Tom Paris too isn't on the ship. Harry visits Tom in Marseille, but Tom, who doesn't know Harry in this reality, isn't interested in joining him to get back to Voyager. Back in San Francisco, Harry is put under surveillance for breaking into the classified files. He finds support in Cosimo, an alien from a temporal anomaly who poses as a coffee shop owner. Cosimo hands Harry a storage chip with data on the anomaly that might take him back to his reality. While tampering with the monitoring device on his leg, Harry triggers an alarm. Tom unexpectedly appears as Harry is chased by Starfleet Security. The two steal the runabout prototype and head for the anomaly that caused the timeline change, in the hope of exactly reproducing the conditions that displaced Harry. They succeed when Tom beams out Harry just as the runabout is breaking apart. In the end, Harry is in the shuttle in the Delta Quadrant again and is rescued through an emergency beam-out.
