<Li> 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 Admiral Janeway tells her of her own death, Chakotay persuades her that he wants to be with her, even if it's uncertain how long they will be together; however, Janeway's older self suggests that Seven and Chakotay will eventually be married . In the alternative future, Seven died on the trip home and it is implied that Chakotay never recovers from the trauma of her death . In one night time scene, Janeway is standing alone in the moonlight with a Bay wind blowing leaves on a flat grave marker inside San Francisco National Cemetery . She stoops to wipe the leaves away; the marker simply reads: Chakotay 2329 - 2394 . </Li> <Li> 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--logically, he does not want to distract the Captain . In Admiral Janeway's future, the disease has progressed too far to be cured and he is in a mental institution . </Li> <Li> The Doctor's "name" saga is finally concluded in the first few minutes of the show, where in the future he is seen confessing that he has finally decided, after thirty - three years, to call himself Joe after his new wife Lana's grandfather . The two married in 2404, two weeks before the tenth anniversary of the return of the USS Voyager . This revelation takes place in an alternate future, one in which the Voyager crew does not ultimately end up . Tom Paris expressed a lack of amusement at this, saying "it took you thirty - three years to come up with "Joe"?" Lana was played by Amy Lindsay . </Li> <Li> Neelix makes a brief appearance on the communications screen talking to Seven of Nine . Two episodes earlier he had left the starship Voyager to join a Talaxian colony (cf . "Homestead"). He has plans to marry Dexa, a Talaxian woman he first met at the colony and quickly fell in love with . His first appearance in the show was also on a viewscreen (cf . "Caretaker, Part II"). </Li>
