[edit] Plot summary
Q shows up on USS Voyager to introduce Kathryn Janeway to her godson, who now has the appearance of human teenager.
Q explains that young Q needs some discipline and hopes that Janeway will be able to impart it to him. Q leaves and young Q starts making all sorts of trouble for the Voyager crew, for example, turning Engineering into a nightclub.
Disappointed by young Q's lack of progress, Q takes away young Q's powers and leaves once again. After a rough start, young Q gains Icheb's trust and kidnaps him on the Delta Flyer on a tour of the galaxy. They run into a Chokuzan ship, which fires a neural weapon at the Delta Flyer leaving Icheb incapacitated. Young Q returns to Voyager and pleads the Doctor to save Icheb. The Doctor is powerless without knowledge about the Chokuzan weapon. When young Q finally admits that it's his fault Icheb is paralyzed, Q reveals that he simulated the Chokuzan ship as a test, to see if the young Q had improved. He then gets the Q Continuum to restore young Q's powers.
Grateful for Janeway's help, Q gives Janeway information which will get Voyager a few light-years closer to home.
