Stardate 50518.6: As Janeway and Chakotay are approaching a planet, their shuttle crashes and they are killed by Vidiians. Suddenly they find themselves back in the shuttle on the way to the planet, and experience a déja vu. This time they change course, but they run into a Vidiian vessel and are killed again. In the next cycle, two Vidiian ships prepare to attack and vanish when Janeway activates a tachyon burst. Back on Voyager, however, Chakotay doesn't remember any Vidiians. Moreover, Janeway has contracted the Vidiian phage, for which the Doctor fails to find a cure and sees no other solution but euthanasia. Janeway finds herself on the shuttle yet again, and this time a temporal anomaly destroys the shuttle. Next, Janeway reappears at the crash site of the first cycle, watching as Chakotay tries to revive her. After her "death" back on the ship, she can't interact with her environment but can give Kes an idea of her presence. The "ghost" of Janeway's father appears, telling her that she is dead and that she has to let go. But Janeway doesn't want to leave yet and reacts on his attempts to make her join him with growing distrust. Her "father" is actually the manifestation of an alien being in her brain, while Janeway is still on the planet after the shuttle crash. She recovers after her successful fight against the alien intruder.
