Chakotay receives an urgent subspace message from Seska. She tells him that Culluh plans to remove her and Chakotay’s new born child from her. Chakotay is conflicted as to what he should do. Should he ask the crew to fly into harms way to save his son? Should he even trust Seska to be telling the truth?

Things take a sudden turn when one of Culluh’s crew shows up and tells them that Cullah has killed Seska, and has taken the baby to a certain world to be raised. As Voyager heads off to rescue the baby, they find they are under constant attacks by the Kazon.

Just when things begin going their way, the Kazon spring their own surprise on Voyager. The Kazon now have the upper hand.
