When Razik and company find the pair, Kar is holding Chakotay at phaserpoint. However, Kar then states that Chakotay is not his enemy; Razik is. He shoots and kills Razik, then surrenders to Haliz, proclaiming him the new First Maje. Haliz accepts Kar's actions and gives him his Olga name: Jal Karden. Chakotay is allowed to leave, but the newly named Jal Karden tells him that he will kill him if he ever sees him again. Chakotay says he understands and beams away. Back on the ship, Chakotay performs his ritual asking for his father's spirit to watch over him and Karden.

Chakotay is taken prisoner by the Kazon, but so is Kar. The Kazon teen explains that he was supposed to kill his enemy or die trying. The leader of the Kazon, First Maje Razik, appears, and Kar tries to protest that his failure was not his fault. Razik forgives Kar, which distresses Kar even more. The execution is scheduled for that night. After Kar is taken away, Razik explains to Chakotay that he is a prisoner because anyone in uniform entering Kazon-Olga space is an enemy to them. Meanwhile, on ''Voyager'', the crew notice Chakotay's absence and begin tracking him down.

Razik brings Chakotay into a large gathering room, where he meets several Kazon children who are being indoctrinated into their warrior society. Chakotay gives them a friendly greeting, hoping to give them a positive first impression of Starfleet, but when Razik asks which of them would like to kill Chakotay, they all instantly volunteer. He then has Kar brought in and insists that Chakotay be the one to execute him. Instead, Chakotay takes Razik hostage and demands his shuttlecraft. Kar gets the drop on Razik's second in command, Haliz, and joins him. They board Chakotay's shuttlecraft and crash land on a moon, Tarok, where the Kazon usually train. They camp out on the planet, and during the night, Kar contemplates killing Chakotay but does not go through with it.

After awakening, Chakotay confronts Kar on not killing him, and Kar admits that Chakotay is no longer his enemy. He explains that the Kazon-Olga hate men in uniform so much because they only recently freed themselves from slavery to the Trabe. However, Chakotay says that he's willing to allow Kar to temporarily kill him to earn his name. ''Voyager'' gets close enough to contact him, and he tells them to be prepared to resuscitate them.

''Voyager'' catches up to Chakotay's last known location and hail Razik's ship. He claims that he killed Chakotay, but Neelix correctly deduces that the Kazon did not do so and are unwilling to attack them so close to their training moon, forcing Razik to concede and allow the crew to beam down and search for Chakotay. On the moon's surface, Razik and a group of Kazon also beam down claiming to want to help. However, they quickly trick the crew into a forcefield trap and then run off to pursue Chakotay and Kar alone.

Alone in a shuttlecraft to perform a Native American ritual in memory of his father, Chakotay is attacked by a Kazon ship manned by a teenager, Kar. Chakotay disables the Kazon ship's engines, then beams Kar off just before it explodes.

To Chakotay's surprise, Kar is unhappy to be rescued. Kazon youth earn their place in the clan by killing an enemy, and he was supposed to either kill Chakotay or die in battle. Because he did neither, he'll never earn his full name and will forever be an outcast among his people.

Chakotay's shuttle is captured by a larger Kazon vessel led by Razik, the leader of Kar's clan, the Ogla. Chakotay escapes, and invites Kar to come with him, an offer that he accepts. With Razik's ship in pursuit, the two of them beam down to a moon used by the Kazon as a training course. Voyager arrives to rescue them, but Chakotay is wondering how he can undo the harm he accidentally did and make it possible for Kar to rejoin his people.
