The Infinity crew finally reaches the coordinates where they were expecting to find Chakotay, but they will make an unexpected encounter.
Tropes:
- Clock Roaches: The titular scavengers, the Weavers, are attracted to temporal paradoxes, and then consume anything they can find around them. This means they are attracted not only by Gwyn, but also that the entire timeline is now at risk.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Wesley has some trouble explaining things coherently, mostly because he's not only a time traveller but also aware of multiple timelines.
- Continuity Nod: The "safe place" where Wesley teleports the crew at the end of the episode is modelled after Gary Seven's flat.
- Shout-Out: Wesley's oddball behaviour, his Bizarchitecture base and some of his equipment are reminiscent of another famous time traveller's.
- Time Stand Still: The Weavers attack by slowing down the time around them, meaning their victims are frozen in time and can be easily consumed. Gwyn's protective armband allows her to resist, and Wesley (who is immune due to his powers) has additional protective armbands in store.
- Wham Episode: The identity of the mysterious force that had been helping the characters since the beginning of the season is revealed as none other than Wesley Crusher.
