Star Trek: Series ?Episode 23: Recap I
Basically, I'm just going to recap everything that's happened so far so that new readers know exactly what's going on going into the season finale. Links to the full episodes are provided, just in case you want to read them.
Episode 1: When Tribbles Attack, Part I
The series begins by introducing Captain Braxton (who suffers from extreme temporal psychosis), Lt. Ducane (the poor sap who has to put up with Braxton), and the "Living Witness" Doctor, who all serve aboard the Federation Timeship Relativity. Captain Braxton, in his infinite stupidity, lets his three temporal clones (Old Captain Braxton, Young Psycho Braxton, and Old Psycho Braxton) escape aboard the Aeon.
Episode 2: When Tribbles Attack, Part II
Back in the 23rd Century, Captain Sulu (who has an obnoxious habit of reminding people that he is the captain), Valtane (who may or may not be alive), and Rand are serving aboard the Excelsior, protecting the tribble homeworld from a Klingon attack. The Aeon appears to steal some tribbles, and the Relativity is in hot persuit. The Braxton Bunch steal the tribbles and get away. Captain Sulu is taken aboard the Relativity as an expert on tribbles, and not-so-lifelike replicant is left in his place.
Episode 3: When Tribbles Attack, Part III
In the 24th Century, the Aeon appears in the Delta Quadrant, and the Braxton Bunch sets in motion their evil plan to destroy Voyager. The Relativity also appears, but the Braxton Bunch get away again. The Relativity crew works with the Voyager crew to figure out what the Braxton Bunch's evil plan is before the ship is destroyed. Back in the 23rd Century, the Excelsior retreats when the Klingon fleet arrives, and the tribble homeworld is destroyed.

Episode 5: Whose Series Is It, Anyway?
While the Braxton Bunch struggle to come up with a new evil plan, the Relativity crew joins the Voyager crew for a victory feast. The Excelsior crew get fed up with the Sulu-replicant, and phaser it into nonexistance before travelling through time to find the real Sulu. Seven of Nine uses Borg nanoprobes to build an implant in Braxton's brain that prevent him from repeating everything everyone says. Sulu and Braxton argue over whose series it really is, and the Excelsior shows up to back him up. The question is resolved when they see which ship the camera follows, and it is determined the series is Braxton's. Sulu quits as the Excelsior captain to become the Relativity's helmsman, and Valtane and Rand swear revenge against both him and Braxton.
Episode 6: A Recruiting We Will Go, Part I
While the Braxton Bunch still struggles to come up with a new evil plan, the Mysterious Red Button tries to get Sulu to push him.

Braxton and Ducane use the temporal transporter to bring their new senior staff aboard. Old Captain Braxton becomes the new captain of the Excelsior.

Episode 8: A Recruiting We Will Go, Part III
The Braxton Bunch hire Dark Helmet, Hawk, Yoda, Inspector Gadget, Dr. Frankenstein, and Harvey the Wonder Hamster as their crew, and Galvatron shows up to take the job of "guy who stands in the background laughing maniacally." The Mysterious Red Button once again tries to get Sulu to push him.

Episode 22: Dax Evasion, Part II
Braxton attempts to pay Dax's taxes by having Kes use her superpowers to cheat at gambling at Quark's Bar, but an unexpected convention of nearly-omnipotent beings makes that impossible, so Kes just uses her powers to make some money, cutting the episode short.

And that's the entire story.
