- Picard discovers an important person from his past may be integral to the divergence in the timeline. Q continues his manipulation of the timeline, taking an interest in Dr. Adam Soong. Seven and Raffi attempt a daring rescue of Rios, while Jurati faces the consequences of her deal with the Borg Queen.
- The Supervisor introduces herself as Tallinn (Orla Brady) and explains to Picard that she is tasked with protecting his ancestor Renée Picard (Penelope Mitchell), the woman whom Q had targeted earlier, because Renée plays an important role in the future. Tallinn says that Supervisors have been appointed by superior beings to protect the tapestry of history from altercation, and sometimes that can mean protecting a single individual. Renee is training for the upcoming Europa space mission. And she struggles with anxiety and depression. Tallinn is monitoring Renee's therapy sessions, where she talks about her fear of freezing in critical situations and letting everybody down. Picard finds that the therapist is Q, who is trying to talk Renee out of the mission, in a bid to change the future. Tallinn and Picard don't know why Q wont simply snap his fingers to make the Europe mission disappear or even Renee for that matter.
Q approaches Dr. Adam Soong (Brent Spiner), a disgraced geneticist who is desperate to find a cure for his daughter Kore's (Isa Briones) terminal genetic illness. Adam wants to a create genetically engineered human beings, without any genetic defects. He fashions himself as a God and hence has no credibility in his peer world. Adam ran genetic experiments on ex-soldiers with a privatized military organization. Kore's defects mean that the smallest speck of dust can shut down her respiratory system and exposure to sunlight turns her blood to poison. She is confined to her home. Q contacts Adam and offers him a sample of the cure. Adam tests the sample on Kore and it works. But the cure is temporary. In exchange for a vial of medicine that can save Kore's life, Q requests Soong's help dealing with Renée.
Seven and Raffi break Rios out of ICE custody. They stall the bus with an EMP burst that knocks out the engines. Rios then tackles the guards by the time Seven and Raffi get there.
Back on La Sirena, the Queen taps into the ship's communications to broadcast an emergency call and lure a policeman onto the ship. Agnes shoots the Queen to prevent her from assimilating the policeman, but the dying Queen injects Agnes with Borg Nanoprobes.
Picard knows that Renée is destined to find a sentient organism on Jupiter's moon Io and it is essential that she does not back out of the Europa mission. Renee has to attend a pre-flight gala that night and attendance is mandatory. In 15 hours, Renee has to check into pre-flight quarantine, and it will be impossible to back out at that point.
Agnes manages to save the policeman as she transports Seven, Raffi and Rios back to the ship. Tallinn transports herself and Picard to the ship. Picard tells his plan to the entire crew. The event is very tightly secured. People cannot get in without an RFID invite, and their file being in the database. The database cannot be hacked remotely. Once inside, the guests are monitored by facial recognition software, and again matched with the database of the invited guests.
To monitor Renee at a pre-flight gala, Agnes infiltrates the event to hack the system so they can all attend, but the Borg Queen's consciousness is lurking within her mind.
