State of Flux
"State of Flux" is the 11th episode of Star Trek: Voyager.
Plot
The crew of Voyager are foraging for food on a planet pointed out by Neelix, when Voyager, in orbit, detects a cloaked Kazon ship. Chakotay is left behind to search for Seska, who almost shoots him for an enemy. As soon as he finds her, two Kazons injure Chakotay slightly, and both are dispatched before they leave the cave.
When back on Voyager, Seska makes Chakotay his favourite, mushroom soup. She begins to tell him that she and several other Maquis had taken the food to make the soup from Neelix's kitchen. At hearing this, Chakotay becomes enraged and disgusted. He asks her how she could carelessly take food from the rest of the ship. Minutes later, Neelix calls Chakotay and tells him that people have stolen food and that he suspects Seska. Chakotay confirms his suspicion and says that everyone involved will be disciplined. He tells Seska that she and the others involved, including himself, will have their replicator privileges withdrawn for two days. She says that they will not agree, to which he replies that he will have them all thrown into the brig. He then walks over to the window in his room and stares out at space. Seska comes over to him and Chakotay tells her that they both agreed their relationship wouldn't work out. Seska becomes annoyed and leaves after this statement.
