List of Star Trek: Voyager episodes
"Blink of an Eye" is the 12th episode from the sixth season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, 132nd episode overall. This episode is believed to have been inspired by the 1980 novel Dragon's Egg.[1]
It follows the crew's interaction with a world where time passes rapidly, allowing them to witness most of its inhabitants' history.
Plot[edit]
The starship Voyager approaches an alien world which exhibits unique properties. It is discovered that the planet is enveloped in a tachyon field, giving it an odd temporal nature. The crew of Voyager becomes fascinated by the strange world, and in an effort to learn more about it, Captain Kathryn Janeway orders the ship to move closer. However, Voyager is trapped in orbit by a magnetic field from which they cannot escape.
As the crew concocts an escape plan, Seven of Nine surveys the strange planet and discovers that Voyager's presence is causing occasional quakes on the planet. Further scans reveal that time passes at a much more rapid rate on the planet, and it is inhabited by a primitive humanoid race.
As hours on Voyager pass, centuries pass on the planet below and its humanoid inhabitants reach a level of technology similar to the 20th century. As the crew discusses the unusually rapid technological progress of the species, a radio message is broadcast at Voyager. Tom Paris wants to reply, but Janeway counters that the species has still not developed warp technology and so a reply would be a violation of the Prime Directive. Instead, Janeway suggests a covert one-man mission to the planet.
As he would not be affected by the change in the passage of time because he is a hologram, the Doctor volunteers for the mission - which, due to the time differential, lasts three years from the Doctor's perspective, even though he is only gone from the ship for a few minutes. Upon returning he reports that Voyager, simply by its presence, has encouraged the culture to advance as the humanoids attempt to contact the "sky-ship." While some strive to establish peaceful contact others are developing increasingly powerful weaponry in an attempt to shoot down Voyager.
Meanwhile, the species below develops technology sophisticated enough to send astronauts on a manned mission to make contact with the sky-ship. A capsule is launched and succeeds in docking with Voyager. Its two astronauts, a male and female, begin to explore the ship but fall unconscious from the stress of adjusting to the different space-time. The bodies are found on the bridge and are taken to sickbay. The female's body can't handle the shock and she dies, but the male, Gotana-Retz, is successfully treated whilst Voyager is hit by a bombardment of antimatter artillery.
Janeway urges Gotana-Retz to return to the planet and convince them to cease the attack. Gotana-Retz does so just after Voyager's shields collapse. Suddenly, two starships appear alongside Voyager and, using tractor beams, tow the vessel out of the planet's field. As the crew sigh in relief, Gotana-Retz briefly transports to Voyager, and Janeway thanks him and his people.
On the surface, an elderly Gotana-Retz, long returned from his experience in space, gazes wistfully into the sky as his people's beloved Sky Ship vanishes from the heavens.

A man in Luton reports he is being blackmailed. Someone has discovered he has visited a prostitute and is threatening to reveal it to his wife unless paid £1,000. Detectives arrange an undercover operation in which the victim drops off the money as instructed, but the blackmailer does not come to collect it. After wondering how he could have been tipped off about the operation, they realise that the blackmailer was one of their own detectives. A detective from the Major Crime Unit is arrested, charged and dismissed from Bedfordshire Police for gross misconduct. He is convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison, later increased on appeal to 3 years.

"Car Attack" 26 February 2018 (2018-02-26) 2.99
Police are called to Dunstable town centre, where a man deliberately drove a car into a group of people on the pavement outside a kebab shop in the early hours of the morning before fleeing on foot. The car attack left a 50-year-old man with a shattered pelvis, which he may never recover from. After an extensive investigation into the crime, police arrested 22-year-old Bradley Vine, from Milton Keynes, on suspicion of attempted murder. Vine had been attacked by a group of young men in the street earlier that night and drove his car at them in revenge. The injured man had not been involved in the earlier attack and was not the intended target of the vehicle-ramming. Vine was later charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.

"Left for Dead" 5 March 2018 (2018-03-05) 2.92
The body of a man was found in a park in Peterborough by a female passerby. The body was identified as Stuart Wilkinson, a homeless man who had been addicted to heroin for years prior to his death. Cambridgeshire Constabulary believe the death to be suspicious after finding bruising around the man's neck, and launch a murder investigation. Police arrest 34-year-old Kelly Almond on suspicion of murdering Wilkinson after CCTV evidence shows her moving Wilkinson's body on a mobility scooter before dumping his body in the park. A post-mortem discovered that Wilkinson died naturally. Almond was charged with disposing of a corpse to obstruct the coroner and perverting the course of justice. Almond was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to the former charge. She was found not guilty of the latter charge.

This episode focuses on the murder of Natalia Doherty, who disappeared in 2003 at the age of 50. Her husband Gerald Doherty confessed to murdering Natalia before committing suicide.

After bailing them, police start to dig up the back garden in Daniel's home and find a skeleton.
