"Non Sequitur" is the 21st episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the fifth episode in the second season. Voyager crew-member is enigmatically stranded back on Earth, only to discover the lives of companions have been radically altered. Much of episode takes place on Star Trek's Earth in the same era as Voyager, as it turns out it is actually Earth but only in alternate timeline caused by an anomaly Harry encountered.
Harry Kim is aboard a shuttlecraft as it is shaking violently. As he contacts Voyager, Captain Janeway attempts to beam him out, and he finds himself awakening on Earth in San Francisco next to his girlfriend, Libby, whom he had dearly missed. The date is exactly the same as he remembered, but his life is completely different: Harry vividly retains all of his memories of his time on Voyager, yet there is no evidence he was ever aboard. Kim finds he had been denied a posting on Voyager and then took an assignment working at the shuttlecraft development center at Starfleet Headquarters, learning that he has designed a new type of runabout, the prototype named USS Yellowstone.
After he leaves a briefing with staff Admirals because of "sickness," he looks for any explanation for his current situation. Harry uses his knowledge of Voyager's security codes to obtain classified information on his ship. Kim realizes he has somehow swapped places with his good friend Daniel Byrd. While skimming through the crew manifest, Kim notices Tom Paris is not listed as part of Voyager's crew either. He learns Paris now lives in Marseilles, France after his parole, and goes there to try to enlist Paris' help in figuring out what happened. An altercation with Paris at a pool hall there forces him to leave without his friend's assistance. Nevertheless, Paris does tell Kim that he'd lost his "advisor's" spot on Voyager after DS9's ill-tempered shapeshifting security chief threw him in the brig for having gotten into a fight with a Ferengi on the station prior to Voyager's departure. (This altercation almost happened between Quark and Kim in the pilot, but Paris had intervened.)
