B'Elanna is struck with horror at the thought of her deception wiping out a civilization and she vows to stop ''Dreadnought'' at any cost. Meanwhile, the disgruntled Maquis [[List of minor recurring characters in Star Trek: Voyager#Michael Jonas|Michael Jonas]] betrays ''Voyager''′s crew by informing the Kazon of the situation. B'Elanna beams onto ''Dreadnought''′s control deck to try to shut it down. This is a tough task, since she had originally armed the missile with a sophisticated battery of countermeasures to make it invincible. The missile's AI accuses B'Elanna of tampering with ''Dreadnought'' and working for the Cardassians. ''Dreadnought'' then lies to B'Elanna and she returns to the ship. She realizes she must find a loophole in her own plans in order to persuade the missile that it should stand down from its plan of attack. She engages in a match of wits against herself (''Dreadnought'' was reprogrammed to speak with B'Elanna's voice, reflecting just some of the alterations B'Elanna herself had made to its programming) to stop the threat before it is too late. Captain Janeway is willing to destroy ''Voyager'' to save the millions of people on the planet. At the last minute B'Elanna cuts through ''Dreadnought's'' power core with a phaser and ''Voyager'' beams her out, banking away from the planet as the missile explodes.
