The main story

An elderly Admiral Kathryn Janeway travels back through time to send her younger self and her crew home, via a Borg 'transwarp corridor,' saving the ship sixteen more years of being stranded in the Delta Quadrant and in the process saving the lives of several crew members, including Seven of Nine, who would die from a future away mission. The Borg or Borg Collective is a race of cyborgs in the Star Trek fictional universe. ... In the fictional Star Trek series, the Milky Way Galaxy is divided into four quadrants, which are further subdivided into sectors. ... Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One, or more simply Seven of Nine (or often referred to as simply Seven), is a fictional character from the Star Trek universe, played by Jeri Ryan in the television series Star Trek: Voyager. ...

The elder Admiral Janeway brings back advanced technologies that would give Voyager the opportunity to get past the massive Borg defences and enter the corridor. On encountering the Borg, the technology is used to grand effect, destroying two Borg Cubes and giving the ship a clear path to return home. In the Star Trek fictional universe, various Borg starships are observed, all appearing as simple geometric solids with greebled exteriors and being very generalized and decentralized in design. ...

However the admiral's efforts are hindered by the desire of her younger self to use the future technology to cripple the Borg, instead of using it to return home. The two Janeways argue over the issue until the elder Janeway tells her younger self that Seven of Nine will die if they do not take the road home. Though Captain Janeway is moved by this confession, she now believes that now that she knows what could happen to Seven, her death is no longer a certainty. After discussing the issue with the rest of her crew, Captain Janeway decides to go ahead with her plan to destroy the Borg's transwarp hub, their centre for transport around the galaxy. On seeing the crew's selfless reaction to the plan, the elder Admiral Janeway rediscovers a piece of her old fighting spirit and with Captain Janeway, comes up with a plan to both destroy the hub and possibly get Voyager home.

Admiral Janeway takes a shuttlecraft and enters one of the transwarp hubs, taking her to the Uni-Complex - the center of all Borg activity, where the Borg Queen herself resides. Tricking the queen into 'assimilating' her into the Borg collective, Admiral Janeway unleashes a virus that devastates the Borg, destroying the queen, the Uni-Complex and the Transwarp hub. However it is unknown if the entire "species" was destroyed. The Unicomplex is a location in the fictional Star Trek universe. ... This article is about the fictional race of aliens. ...

Meanwhile Captain Janeway and her crew have entered a transwarp corridor and are travelling back to Earth, pursued by a Borg sphere ship that has withstood the virus' effects. Unable to fight back against the ship's exterior defences, Janeway takes her ship inside the sphere, where, upon its arrival in the Solar System, she detonates a torpedo that destroys the sphere from the inside out.

In the show's final few minutes the crew stand dumbfounded that they have finally returned home after seven years lost in the Delta Quadrant. Settling down in her chair, Captain Janeway issues her final words; the same words that she used at the start of her journey: "Set a course... for home."

Secondary story

The final episode also includes the birth of Miral, daughter of Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres. Miral is born as the Voyager re-enters Earth's solar system. The sounds of the baby's gurgling are heard over the communications system, to the joy of all the crew. Miral Paris is a fictional character in the Star Trek universe. ... Thomas Eugene Paris is a character in the fictional Star Trek universe who served aboard the USS Voyager (NCC-74656) as helmsman and pilot, with the rank of lieutenant. ... BElanna Torres is a fictional character of the Star Trek universe played by Roxann Dawson. ...

Commander Chakotay and Seven of Nine are revealed to have started dating. Though Seven is at first wary of the relationship, and more so after Janeway tells her of her own death, Chakotay persuades her that he wants to be with her, even if its uncertain how long they will be together. Chakotay (born 2326) is a fictional character of the Star Trek universe, played by Robert Beltran, and was the second-in-command of the USS Voyager, to Kathryn Janeway in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. ... Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One, or more simply Seven of Nine (or often referred to as simply Seven), is a fictional character from the Star Trek universe, played by Jeri Ryan in the television series Star Trek: Voyager. ...

Tuvok is suffering from a degenerative brain disease, yet does not tell the Captain as the only cure is a mind-meld with a family member-logicaly, he does not want to distract the Captain. In Admiral Janeway's future, the disease is too advanced to be cured and he is in a mental institution.

The Doctor's 'name' saga is finally concluded in the first few minutes of the show, where we see a future doctor confessing that he has finally decided to call himself Joe, after his new wife's grandfather. This revelation takes place in an alternate future which the Voyager crew does not ultimately end up in, however.

Neelix makes a brief appearance on the communications screen talking to Seven of Nine. Two episodes previously he had left to join a Talaxian colony. Neelix is a fictional character in the fictional universe of Star Trek: Voyager (STV). ... The Talaxian is a humanoid civilization in the Star Trek universe native to the planet Talax in the Delta Quadrant. ...
