In case you haven't read it yet, here are the spoilers. Note that they cover the entire episode - so those of you who avoid spoilers or extensive spoilers may want to stop reading.
"Fury":
Kes' shuttle intercepts Voyager and she hails the ship, begging for help. When Janeway lowers the shields, Kes rams the ship with her shuttle, destroying most of deck ten. She then makes her way to deck eleven, kills two security officers trying to stop her, and makes it to engineering. She goes for the warp core, and B'Elanna tries to stop her. Kes, who looks old, kills B'Elanna and reaches the core. She hugs the warp core, regains her youth, and disappears.
Go three years in the past when Kes was still on Voyager. Evil Future Kes enters the airponics bay and sedates Good Past Kes. Evil Kes then fills Good Kes' role on Voyager. All the while, Tuvok begins to have visions of Seven of Nine, the Borg children from "Collective," and Naomi Wildman. He is perplexed by this, as these people don't yet exist on Voyager (well, Naomi's alive, but she'd still be a baby).
While all this is going on, Evil Kes lures the Vidiians into attacking Voyager. We learn that Evil Kes has grown to hate Janeway for pressing her space exporation values onto Kes, forcing her to evolve into that light being when she wasn't ready. We learn that Kes was going to deliver the Voyager to the Vidiians as revenge. Janeway discovers this plot and kills Evil Kes.
Move back to the future, just before Kes rams Voyager. Janeway is prepared this time, knowing what will happen based on Evil Kes' stunt in the past (there was no information concerning whether the other crewmembers know, or whether its just Janeway; if it is just Janeway, there'll be some explaining to do). Anyway, Janeway doesn't lower the shields and is prepared to take on Kes. Janeway then shows Evil Kes a holographic recording from Good Past Kes, who made a message after the incident in the past trying to dissuade her future self from harming Voyager. Evil Kes is moved to tears, and she leaves Voyager once again. Since her attack failed, B'Elanna stays alive and all is well with the universe once more.
Well, there you go. Several comments:
1- It seems we'll actually repurcussions of time travel in this episode, as Janeway will remember was Kes does in that past and changes the future.
2- On other boards, I've read where others don't think this is a good story because it doesn't suit Kes' nature. However, maybe the abilities were too much for her (i.e., she accidentally destroyed several species or something) - and it's to mentally traumatic. I could see how she might be angry that she evolved, but...
3- Kes says Janeway forced her to evolve. This is wrong. In "The Gift," it's Kes who wants to leave, and Janeway who wants her to stay. Hopefully, this will be clarified.
And finally, WE GET TO SEE THE VIDIIANS AGAIN! I'm glad its them and not the Kazon, although I did like them. We haven't seen the Vidiians in a while, though.
Comments?

"Questions, comments, bring them to me. Problems, take them to Kinis."
Wow, this sounds like a good episode to me. Nothing boring like a singing doctor. Maybe we'll see Seven and Kes interacting. We never got to see that before.
Things that bother me are:
I thought Kes' shuttle was destroyed when she evolved.
Why would she need a shuttle anymore anyway?
Why would she need to head for engineering to get at the warp core? If she was able to get Voyager on her way in "The Gift" she shows the ability to manipulate the core without being on board.
How does Tuvok have these visions of the future and not tell anyone, especially back in "Relativity" when he sees a future Seven in a uniform.
That's all I can think of for now.

It sounds like a child in a candy store...
"Kes arrives! then she's bad! and, and then she WRECKS Voyager then she KILLS B'Elanna then she..." *child hyperventalates*
