Returning to the Watcher’s apartment Picard realises that she is not Laris. The Watcher named Talinn reveals to Picard that her mission is to monitor a temporal point. She is here to watch and protect an important person from his past, his ancestor Renee Picard, and she may be the key to the divergence in the timeline. Meanwhile Seven and Raffi make a daring rescue of Rios from the evil clutches of ICE, and back at the ship a mischievous Borg Queen tries to force Jurati to be connected by taking a Gendarme hostage.
Elsewhere in LA, Dr Adam Soong, whose daughter Kore has a rare genetic condition that causes her blood to react violently to sunlight, is desperate to increase his funding to find a cure. But his dealings with a dodgy military contractor which sees him working directly on human subjects unregulated and unmonitored sees his funding cut and his licence revoked by the authorities.
Meanwhile Q continues his manipulation of the timeline. But with the unexpected loss of his power, he has to get his hands dirty and manipulate events directly. Pretending to be Renee’s psychiatrist he prays on her anxiety to try and persuade her to drop out of the forthcoming Europa Mission to space. He also takes an active interest in Dr. Adam Soong’s desperate predicament and offers a cure for his daughter’s condition in exchange for something he needs.
As everyone, including Talinn, meet back at the Confederation ship they find that Jurati has killed the Borg Queen trying to rescue the Gendarme who is still alive. But events mean they must focus on infiltrating the pre-launch Gala to protect Renee Picard from Q and make sure that she gets aboard the space shuttle for the Europa Mission. Juratti, having learnt Ancient Coding at University, gets into the Gala to take down the ancient security so the others can follow but as the plan appears to be working Juratti must face the consequences of her deal with the Borg Queen.
