Tanis agrees to take ''Voyager'' to Suspiria's location. On the way, he teaches Kes how to move objects and raise their temperatures with her abilities. She demonstrates these abilities to Tuvok but becomes unable to shut them off, nearly burning Tuvok alive. But Kes continues learning from Tanis, who unlocks her ability to summon a huge firestorm that burns all of her plants. He tells her that soon she will evolve beyond her crewmates and be able to join Suspiria in a realm of pure thought.

Kes, exploring her abilities, gets frustrated with how slowly Tuvok is forcing her to take it. When some of her own kind arrive and begin to train her, speaking of the possibility of her ascending, Kes enjoys it and begins to consider leaving ''Voyager'' with them. But are these fellows as friendly as they seem?

Kes, exploring Tuvok is helping Kes develop her psychic abilities, gets frustrated with how slowly Tuvok is forcing helping her to take it. When some of hear Neelix's thoughts before her own kind arrive and begin amusement severs the connection. Tuvok promises to train her, speaking help her control her emotional "outbursts" in the future. Kes arrives late to her shift at Sick Bay, where suddenly the crystalized remains of the possibility of her ascending, Kes enjoys it Caretaker begin making a high-pitched sound. Torres investigates and begins discovers that the crystal is resonating with an outside source of sporocystian energy, leading Janeway to consider leaving suspect that it's picking up signals of the Caretaker's departed mate. Torres hooks the crystal up to some machinery to use as a compass, and they set off in search of the entity. On the way, Janeway agrees to Tuvok's suggestion that they work on developing a toxin to subdue the entity in case she becomes hostile.

The ship arrives at a space station that looks very similar to the Caretaker's array, though much smaller. Kim notes that the station is filled with Ocampa. But as the ship draws closer, they're fired upon. The station's commander, Tanis, orders the ship to go away, but Janeway introduces him to Kes, a fellow Ocampa, and Tanis agrees to meet with them on ''Voyager.'' Onboard, Tanis tells Janeway that
''Voyager'' has developed a reputation as a "ship of death," and that they're believed to have killed the Caretaker. Janeway denies all of this. He also reveals that his people's caretaker, Suspiria, has helped them evolve, increasing their lifespan and psychic abilities. He invites Kes to join them, and Janeway urgers her to think it over. After Tanis returns to his station, however, he telepathically promises to deliver ''Voyager'' to Suspiria.

But Kes continues learning from Tanis, who unlocks her ability to summon a huge firestorm that burns all of her plants. He tells her that soon she will evolve beyond her crewmates and be able to join Suspiria in a realm of pure thought.

Suspiria arrives on the ship looking like a little girl, and it turns out that she's on a mission to avenge her mate. She starts to destabilize the ship. Kes figures out what's happening and fights Tanis off using her new psychic powers. The captain uses Tuvok's anti-sporocystian weapon to stun Suspiria and lock her behind a forcefield. However, to Suspiria's surprise, Janeway grants mercy to her and Tanis, allowing them to leave unharmed. However, Janeway vows to seek out Suspiria in the future and convince her to take the ship home. With Tanis gone, Kes's psychic abilities have greatly diminished, and she returns to Tuvok for training. She regrets the dark impulses that made her lose control of her abilities. Tuvok assures her that everyone has these impulses, and Kes simply needs to learn to control them.

* EasilyForgiven: Rather than castigate Kes for nearly getting him killed, Tuvok advises her to treat the incident as a learning experience and remains committed to instructing her.

to:

* {{Cult}}: Although the episode doesn't get into it explicitly, the way Tanis describes life on Suspiria's station has all the hallmarks of a cult. He promises Kes that she can unlock her latent potential and live longer. He gives her an intense sensory experience and entices her to destroy something she loves, while trying to isolate her from her friends by telling her that she's better than them. And sufficiently advanced Ocampa get to go to "Exosia" where they experience communion with Suspiria in thought and energy.
