Dal questions Gwyn, now that they're all stranded on the planet's surface and the ship is trapped.

Janeway contacts them through the com on the shuttle. She sets a beacon to lead the crew to the ship but the planet is trying to digest the ship.

The Runaway is also trapped by the planet's vines. Zero notes that the planet isn't trying to entice them anymore.

Gwyn has a compound fracture in her leg but won't take Rok's hand. She telepathically changes her sword to a splint and stands up on her own.

As the light fades, Gwyn notices sounds and the group realizes that the landscape has changed and they're headed in the wrong direction.

Janeway tries to keep the ship safe and puzzles out a solution, thinking what the real Janeway would do. She activates the ship's disinfection drones to remove the planet's invasive vines.

Janeway discovers there's a Gravimetric Protostar Containment System that is using up the ship's energy reserves.

The crew is walking in circles as the planet changes to confuse them. When the planet starts to form a nightmarish figure to attack them, Gwyn uses a phaser to light a torch and set it on fire. Unfortunately, it sets their surroundings on fire too.

To escape, Gwyn leads them on a leap into a fissure.

As the others are congratulating Gwyn and Dal is protesting, it begins to rain acid. They find shelter in a downed Klingon ship. While eating, they share their planet-induced visions.

Gwyn and Dal have a talk on their own and do some star-gazing. This leads them to realize that they could use the stars to lead them to the ship.

The Diviner and Drednok approach the planet.

As the crew approaches the ship, Drednok appears and attacks. Gwyn tries to stop him but he shoots her splint and she falls to the ground. The others run. Drednok is prevented from shooting at Dal when the planet's vines grab him.

Drednok breaks free but isn't able to find the crew as they hide from him.

Dal insists they head for the ship, leaving Gwyn since she's the reason The Diviner and Drednok came to the planet.

Gwyn is struggling to crawl towards the ship when she sees the light of The Diviner teleporting.

The Diviner is pleased to find the Protostar but stops when he hears Gwyn's call for help. After hesitating, he chooses the ship and abandons her to the vines.

When lifeforms are detected, Janeway opens the bay doors and Dal leads the crew onboard. The Diviner finds himself trapped by the vines.

Once the ship has lifted off, they return to rescue Gwyn. They set a course and depart but The Diviner's ship is chasing them down.

Zero realizes that the Gravimetric Protostar Containment System is protecting the ship's engine, an actual protostar.

The Diviner hails them and threatens them if they don't surrender the ship. Gwyn decides to do the right thing and orders the ship to engage the Proto-Warp engine.

They leave The Diviner behind so fast, Drednok can't even track them on their maps.
