The Borg Queen, Soong, and the drones beam to La Sirena while Picard, Tallinn, Raffi, and Seven beam to Chateau Picard and are joined by Rafi, Teresa and Ricardo who have escaped La Sirena. Surrounded by drones the group are pinned down. In the gun fight Rios is injured and is transported along with Teresa, and her son to safety at Tallinn’s apartment. Agnes's consciousness blocks the Queen from the ship's systems and stalls her using a fractal lock in the form of an Elnor security hologram. Having split up to get to La Sirena, Seven and Raffi arrive at the ship and try to use the ship against the Queen, but she mortally wounds Seven.
Meanwhile back in the chateau Picard and Tallinn escape from Soong and the drones in the tunnels beneath the house. Picard recalls his mother having a mental break while they were playing hide-and-seek in the tunnels when he was a boy, after which she ended her own life. Discussing this with Tallinn helps Picard come to terms with it. But Soong catches up with him and corners them in the conservatory where Piicard’s mother killed herself, but Rios beams back and forces him to flee.
Back in La Sirena, with Seven bleeding out, Agnes pleads with the Borg Queen to save Seven, to have compassion. Agnes convinces her to build a new more resilient Borg collective through salvation rather than assimilation, to truly become a new Borg Queen.
The new Queen heals Seven by adding her to the collective, and then departs in La Sirena for the Delta Quadrant, leaving a message for Picard: there must be two versions of Renée, one who will fly the Europa mission and one who will die
