Summary

A woman carefully makes a batch of homemade brownies, recalling the many times she has made them as a ritual over the past seven years, since a Starfleet admiral first brought the news that Voyager had been lost in the Badlands, then the news that the ship was safe in the Delta Quadrant and finally that it had arrived home. Finally, Gretchen Janeway welcomes her daughter Kathryn back to the family home.
