Star Trek VGR Episode 4 - Time and Again

"Investigating a planet just devastated by a polaric explosion, Janeway and Paris are engulfed by a subspace fracture and transported in time to before the accident."

The episode starts with Paris trying to get Harry Kim to go on a double date. It's very "Three's Company". All we need his Harry to bite his fist. He declines anyway because he has a wife and kids. Paris tells him to forget about his wife because she will not wait for him to return anyway. What a dick.

Kes than has a psychic vision of an entire planet burning and everyone dying. They do indeed detect a giant explosion on a nearby planet. An away team of Janeway, Paris and others go to the planet and see that it is devastated. There are energy anomalies everywhere and they get stuck in one, it brings them a few days in the past. They see the civilization as it was, they are pre-warp and use power plants. They discover terrorists that plan to blow up the power plants (which they assume is what causes the explosion).

Meanwhile on Voyager Kes psychically sees that Janeway and crew are in the past. Torres, Harry and Kes go to the burned-out planet and find an anomaly and try to open it with a warp generator. In the past, Janeway and Paris have been wrapped up in the terrorist plot, they try to prevent it but discover that the explosion is actually caused by Torres opening up the rift! Janeway closes the anomaly rift before Torres opens it and suddenly they are sent back to the beginning of the episode. Paris and Kim are discussing going on the double date. Janet overhears them but misinterprets it as they are going on a date with each other... Kes realizes that the planet is safe. They have avoided the destruction, at least for now ... the terrorists still exist. They can't interfere however because of the Prime Directive. One of the people on the planet is played by Joel Polis, who was the rival bar owner Gary from Cheers!
