If Tom Paris did not end up with B’Elanna, with whom he would end up with (or no one)?

[Oddish]

Caretaker, along with certain scenes in Season 1, definitely made inrodes to establishing a foundation of sorts for their relationship. At minimum, an episode like The Chute or Blood Fever (or even potentially combining the two into one episode) would have been interesting.

I think that they were playing with the idea of B'Elanna/Harry and B'Elanna/Chakotay early on. But then, Chakotay and Janeway showed such amazing chemistry, while they were planning on doing away with Harry.
