[#1 and #2 Caretaker] Torres is Maquis commander Chakotay's Chief Engineer and, along with his ship and crew, is taken from the Alpha Quadrant's Badlands into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's displacement wave, followed shortly afterwards by Voyager, the Federation Starship sent to search for them. After the Caretaker conducts anatomical compatibility tests on both the captured crews, two people contract a fatal disease - Torres and Voyager's Ensign Kim. When they are sent to the Ocampa city to be cared for, and uncertain that both crews are searching for them, she and Kim must put aside their Maquis/Starfleet differences and work together on a plan of escape.

[#3 Parallax] * Despite Torres' violent temper, when Voyager becomes trapped in a singularity's event horizon, Torres' potential and her approach to the singularity problem impress Janeway who appoints her Chief Engineer.

[#10 Prime Factors] * During shore leave on the planet Sikaris, the Voyager crewmembers learn of the natives' spatial trajector - technology with the ability to transport people and objects vast distances. Believing the device would drastically reduce the journey home and even, with adjustment, be used to transport all the way home, the crew are disappointed when they learn that Sikaran law forbids the sharing of technology with outsiders despite attempts at negotiation. A Sikaran offers Voyager the trajector in an illicit deal and when Janeway gives up on being thwarted through official channels, Torres joins the conspiracy to obtain and install the trajector illegally.

[#14 Faces] * Torres is captured by Sulan, a Vidiian scientist. For millennia his people have suffered from the phage, which damages and eventually destroys their body organs, tissue and genetic codes. To counter this, the Vidiians have developed sophisticated transplant techniques, often forcibly obtaining replacement organs and tissue from healthy alien victims. Sulan goes a stage further: he is searching for a cure and, discovering that Klingon DNA is quite resistant to the phage, subjects prisoner Torres to the genotron, a device which splits her literally into two people - one wholly Klingon and one wholly Human.

SEASON 2

[#28 Resistance] During an away mission on a planet ruled by the oppressive military regime the Mokra Order, Torres is captured along with Tuvok and kept in dreadful conditions while Janeway accepts the aid of an old man to try and effect a rescue. Meanwhile a rescue by the rest of the Voyager crew is impeded by official Mokra channels.

[#29 Prototype] * Torres repairs a damaged drifting Automated Personnel Unit built by the long-extinct species the Pralor. After discussion with Janeway, to adhere to the Federation's Prime Directive Torres reluctantly rejects the APU's request for her aid in producing a prototype APU to reverse their dwindling numbers. But the Pralor APUs kidnap her and force her to build the prototype. Then when her captors are attacked by the Cravic APUs, she learns the terrible reason for the Pralor's extinction and realises the wisdom of the Prime Directive.

[#33 Dreadnought] * While a member of the Maquis, before she joined Voyager's crew, Torres reprogrammed a powerful and sophisticated Cardassian missile, nicknamed Dreadnought, to attack a Cardassian target in the Alpha Quadrant. But the Caretaker's displacement wave has brought Dreadnought into the Delta Quadrant, and due to damaged systems it now thinks its target is a populated planet, a planet that is incapable of defending against it. It is a race against time as Torres tries to overcome Dreadnought's anti-tampering defences and disarm it. But the challenge looks like being fatal once Dreadnought realises Torres' intention.

[#39 The Thaw] Voyager encounters a planet that suffered an environmental catastrophe 19 years earlier and brings aboard a handful of the native Kohl who survived by going into artificial hibernation. When the hibernation pods are beamed aboard, two are dead and the remaining three are in deep stasis, their minds connected to a sensory system controlled by a computer. The two died from heart failure brought on by mental stress, which could be evidence of extreme fear. Hoping to learn how to revive the survivors, Kim and Torres enter the now vacant pods and are attached to the computer, which allows them to enter the Kohl colonists' dream state. They are thrown into an environment that resembles a bizarre carnival run by a malevolent Clown who allows Torres to leave with his demands while keeping Kim as hostage. The Voyager crew, including Torres, must find a way to release the hostages before the Clown's grim antics cause more deaths.

SEASON 3

[#46 The Swarm] While scouting in a shuttlecraft, Torres and Paris are attacked and severely injured by an bipedal insectoid boarding party. Torres manages to return the shuttle to Voyager where she is swiftly treated. But during the tricky surgical operation on Paris it becomes clear that the Doctor's program is rapidly degrading due to long and frequent use. While Voyager flees through the territory of the hostile and xenophobic attackers, known to the crew as the Swarm, Torres consults the EMH's diagnostic program which turns out to be a representation of the EMH creator Dr Lewis Zimmerman and aids Kes in finding a solution to the Doctor's degradation problem.

[#48 Remember] * As Voyager transports a group of Enarans to their home world, Torres begins having intense dreams. Every night she envisions herself as Korenna, an Enaran woman who is in love with a man named Dathan Alaris, much to the chagrin of her father and community leader, for Dathan belongs to the despised social class known derogatively as the Regressives. Each new dream advances Korenna's story and it turns out that there is a connection between the dreams and the presence of the telepathic Enarans - Torres is not dreaming, as she believed, but instead is experiencing actual memories that have been specifically implanted in her mind. In her next vision, Korenna realises that her father is forcibly "resettling" the Regressives and is forced to choose between helping her lover and her father. When Torres learns the rest of Korenna's story, she realises the Enarans have a dark genocidal past.

[#58 Blood Fever] * Voyager's Vulcan officer engineer Ensign Vorik, while deep in the Vulcan pon farr, proposes marriage to Torres. When she politely rejects him, he seizes her and inadvertently initiates a telepathic mating bond. This drastically alters her body chemistry and the resulting mental agitation makes her jeopardise an away mission deep in the caves of a planet. There, while trapped in the caves with Tom Paris, her desire for him is openly revealed, magnified by the onset within her of the strong mating urge initiated by Vorik. When they emerge, Torres is cornered by a lust-crazed Vorik. The only solution is to follow Vulcan tradition - which means that Torres and Vorik must fight a duel!

[#64 Real Life] The Doctor creates a holographic family for himself and invites Torres and Kes to meet them. There Torres tells the Doctor that he will learn nothing from those unrealistically perfect holocharacters, whom she calls "lollipops", and says she will help him by adjusting the program to generate holocharacters and the scenarios typical of real life. As a result, the Doctor faces the headache of a rebellious teenage holo-son and has to summon the strength to cope with the tragedy that befalls his holo-daughter.

[#66 Displaced] The early stages of Torres' and Paris' long and often rocky courtship are seen in this story. When they leave a holodeck duelling-with-bat'leths simulation, Paris accuses Torres of being hostile. Their argument is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a bewildered Nyrian. At the same time, Kes disappears from the ship. Eventually the Voyager crew become suspicious because a Nyrian appears on board at frequent regular intervals and a crewmember disappears. Torres is about to uncover this as being the Nyrians' invasion tactic when she is forcibly removed from Voyager. Torres joins Janeway's team in searching for a way to escape from the Nyrians' prison habitat, to which the crew have been removed, and ends up with Paris in an ice world habitat where it looks as if they will freeze to death together.

[#67 Worst Case Scenario] Torres discovers a highly entertaining holodeck program whose scenario is that of a Maquis mutiny aboard Voyager. But the harmless holoprogram later traps Paris and Tuvok, manifesting itself as a fatal booby trap thanks to interference by a malevolent saboteur.

SEASON 4

[#71 Day Of Honor] * Torres' bad day, comprising everything from a faulty sonic shower to having to eject Voyager's warp core, culminates in her floating in space with Tom Paris, after their shuttlecraft is destroyed by the Caatati, aggressive charity-hunters who steal the warp core. With both their air supplies about to run out, for Torres and Paris it is the time for truths and a confession of love.

[#73 Revulsion] * Voyager answers the distress call of an isormorphic projection called Dejaren who reports that his organic crew is dead and he needs help. The Doctor, anxious to meet a fellow hologram, is assigned to the rescue mission along with Torres. Upon their arrival on the disabled ship, Dejaren and the Doctor are pleased to meet each other, another "lifeform" like themselves. Dejaren explains that his crew died from a deadly virus. Torres suspects that Dejaren is mentally unstable after he inadvertently reveals pathological bitterness toward organics. On the lower deck, Torres finds the murdered corpses of the crew and realises they did not die from a virus. Dejaren disables the Doctor's program and pursues Torres to the death.

[#78 Random Thoughts] * While visiting the planet of the telepathic Mari species, in confused circumstances Torres is convicted of "aggravated violent thought resulting in grave bodily harm". She is condemned to undergo imminently a forcible and damaging engrammatic purge unless Tuvok can uncover the real reasons for the incident. His investigation takes him into the dark and dangerous underworld where he discovers the society's black market in violent thoughts.

[#86 and #87 The Killing Game] Voyager is captured by the Hirogen, a species whose males dedicate their lives to hunting and killing (alien) prey. Alpha Hirogen, using implanted neural devices which convinces the crew they are in real scenarios, forces the crew to fight deadly war games for the edification of his Hirogen hunters. Torres' persona is that of a French Resistance fighter in Nazi-occupied France whose feigned love for a senior Nazi officer gives the Resistance inside information. As the Resistance plot an attack on Nazi headquarters, Kim and the Doctor, two of the few left free of the neural devices, plan a way to regain the ship.

SEASON 5

[#97 Extreme Risk] * Voyager's crew steer their technologically advanced multispatial probe into the atmosphere of a gas giant to prevent it being stolen by the Malon. The crews of Voyager and a Malon ship compete to build a shuttle capable of withstanding the hostile atmosphere in order to salvage the probe. Normally building a new ship from scratch would be a dream come true for Torres, as it is for Paris, but she is withdrawn and moody. Then Janeway and Chakotay learn that Torres has been deliberately running dangerous holodeck scenarios with the safety protocols off, and has suffered a number of life-threatening injuries as a result. Her behaviour is her reaction to terrible news received the previous year (in [#83 Hunters]) that her Maquis comrades in the Alpha Quadrant have been slaughtered by the Cardassians with help from the Dominion. When the Malon launch their shuttle and gain a head start, Torres must confront her demons and join Voyager's new shuttle, the Delta Flyer. But soon the probe is not the problem. As the Delta Flyer's hull starts breaching, the mission becomes a matter of life and death.

[#102 Nothing Human] * A wounded alien beamed aboard Voyager attacks Torres, puncturing her neck and secreting paralysing fluids into her bloodstream in order to survive by co-opting her vital systems. Not knowing how to extract the creature without harming her, the Doctor and Kim, needing a specialist, create a hologram of the Cardassian exobiologist Crell Moset. But Torres objects to putting her life in the hands of a Cardassian. Worse, a Bajoran officer reveals that during the Bajoran Occupation Moset used live subjects for his medical experiments and killed hundreds of Bajorans. The dying Torres refuses to let Moset treat her, believing if she benefits from his research, she will be validating his atrocious methods.

[#115 Juggernaut] * Torres is forced to take command of a dangerous mission aboard a crippled Malon freighter which is leaking toxic theta radiation.

[#119 Warhead] The Doctor persuades Janeway to let him beam aboard a sentient device which turns out to be a powerful missile. The warhead communicates by forcibly taking over the Doctor's program and, refusing to believe that the war is over, takes Kim and Torres hostage and compels Voyager to set course for its target.

END OF SEASON 5 AND START OF SEASON 6

[#120 and #121 Equinox] When USS Voyager encounters USS Equinox, a Federation starship also pulled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker, the two crews work to defend against lifeforms that are attacking the Equinox without apparent reason. But then the Equinox crew's murderous secret is discovered - they have been trapping the lifeforms and using the dead bodies as fuel to enhance their warp drive to speed their journey home. Janeway detains the Equinox crew for the crime but when they escape the two crews battle each other for survival, with it becoming personal when Torres is pitted against the Equinox's first officer, a former beau of hers.

SEASON 6

[#123 Barge Of The Dead] * Torres embarks on a spiritual journey on the Barge of the Dead, the Klingon transportation to the afterlife, and along the way reconsiders her refusal to accept her Klingon mother's values.

[#126 Alice] Torres feels neglected when Tom Paris becomes obsessed with restoring and flying a secondhand spacecraft which he christens Alice. His infatuation with the advanced craft, which features a neurogenic interface that taps directly into the pilot's brain for faster ship maneuverability, leads him to even steal components from Voyager. When Torres goes to confront him about it and enters Alice's cockpit, she discovers that Alice has a "mind" of its own - a murderous one intent on killing her.

[#142 Muse] * Torres is inside the Delta Flyer when it crashes on a planet inhabited by a primitive pre-warp society. A native, Kelis the poet (playwright), discovers the crippled vessel and its pilot. Kelis and Torres embark on a strange relationship - he acquires materials to aid her in repairing the Delta Flyer, while she acts as his Muse as he struggles to write a play about the godlike beings B'Elanna Torres and the Voyager Eternals, a play that has to convince his patron not to start a war.

END OF SEASON 6 AND START OF SEASON 7

[#146 and #147 Unimatrix Zero] In order to aid rebelling Borg drones, Torres joins Janeway and Tuvok on an away mission inside a Borg vessel. On arrival, they are immediately discovered and assimilated.

SEASON 7

[#149 Drive] * Fearing their romance is on the rocks, Torres decides she needs to share his interests and accordingly joins Paris when he pilots the Delta Flyer in the Antarian Trans-Stellar Rally, a friendly spaceship race designed to strengthen a recent peace agreement between previously warring species. But sabotage and a murder conspiracy get in the way before the lovers can decide their future together.

What the wedding would have been like can be inferred from the opening scene in [#112 Course Oblivion] in which the 'silver blood' duplicates Paris and Torres (ref. [#92 Demon]) get married. See also Tom And B'Elanna's Courtship, Wedding & Just Married.

[#150 Repression] During their leisuretime visit to a holo-cinema, Paris and Torres discover an unconscious crewmember. Maquis crewmembers become victims of mysterious attacks - who is attacking them and why? Tuvok investigates.

[#155 and #156 Flesh And Blood] In [#86 and #87 The Killing Game] Janeway gave the Hirogen the means to create holographic prey. In this story, some of the sentient holograms created using the technology have escaped the terror of constantly being Hirogen prey. With the prospect of aid or hindrance from Voyager, the holograms take aboard their ship the Doctor (a hologram like themselves who sympathises with them). But they also take Torres prisoner.

[#158 Lineage] * Torres learns she is pregnant, but the memory of growing up as one of mixed species haunts her and she unilaterally decides to carry out a genetic alteration of her unborn child.

[#160 Prophecy] * Voyager encounters a cult of Klingons seeking their saviour. When their leader meets Torres, he decides that she is the one they have been looking for.

[#171 and #172 Endgame] As Voyager, guided by Admiral Janeway from the future, is about to take on the Borg, Torres goes into labour. Not only is the safety of her unborn child at stake, but Voyager's survival and even history itself.
