I find it totally unsatisfactory and unsatisfying that we learn of Kes and Neelix’s break up in this episode and as an afterthought.

@MirrorAyako @allstartrek Kes broke up with Neelix on screen in Warlord, but it was unclear whether or not Kes was possessed by an alien at the time. However there’s nothing to indicate they ever got back together after that, so I’m pretty sure that was the real break-up.
@strange_new_words @allstartrek if that’s the case, then I’m really irritated. Because she was not even really Kes when that happened.
@MirrorAyako @allstartrek I think what they were going for is that she was not fully under alien control, just influenced enough that she didn’t feel the need to be nice, so she said what she really felt. But it was super unclear. I wonder if a follow-up scene got cut for time from Warlord.

Knowing #Kes broke up with #Neelix at some point prior to #Darkling, the way she sort of glanced at Neelix when she was freed in #Warlord and didn't return his embrace - that sort of indicated to me that they weren't getting back together when I saw it a few days ago.
