Stardate not given: As Tom Paris admits he's falling in love with Kes, Neelix's jealousy starts to get the better of him. But with the ship's food reserves down to 30% of capacity, the feuding pair are dispatched to an inhospitable planet in hopes of procuring more food. But atmospheric storms disable their shuttle, causing them to crash-land on "Planet Hell" and cutting them off from Voyager. Trying to survive, they come upon some hatching eggs and are faced with two additional dilemmas - helping the newborn to survive and dealing with its returning mother.
