"Voyager is trapped in a quantum singularity's event horizon, and Captain Janeway must decide between Lt. Carey and former Maquis B'Elanna Torres to be the new chief engineer."
Janeway has trouble buying into Torres as chief engineer. She is a hothead and Janeway has an order of rank to abide by. The union would have a field day with this one! New first officer Chakotay stands by her abilities however.
The ship has been stuck in this quantum singularity. They try to travel to a nearby planet but end up back at the beginning of the singularity (also they physically went back to the point in time that they first reached the singularity). They must find their original entrance point and exit through it. Finally they find the point but it has shrunk. Janeway and Torres take a shuttlecraft to the point and they succeed in expanding it. Janeway also sees that Torres is the right choice for Chief Engineer. They go to turn the shuttlecraft around and they see TWO Voyager's! One is the "current" one and the other is the "past" one. Janeway makes an educated guess at which one to return to. She guesses right.
Meanwhile the Doctor is shrinking. His program needs some repairs. This plot has nothing to do with anything, but damn the Doctor is a fun character.

This was actually the first Voyager episode I ever saw. It's a very clever sci-fi story. But I remember not loving the cast.
I've started Voyager and just watched this episode. I don't care how smart she is, Torres should've been sent to the brig. She's unfit for command in my opinion. I don't buy it.
