The only way it seems to get the required information about the location of Guinan the all-important "watcher" is for Jurati to plug connect herself to the Queen, which you know, carries the risk of assimilation. The quality of this episode comes from good writing and solid direction, but it also benefits from great casting and Annie Wersching is deliciously sinister as the Borg Queen.

Raffi and Seven beam safely into Los Angeles, however Rios suffers an extremely painful looking accident as he materializes about 30 feet in the air and suffers a very nasty fall, bouncing off a fire escape on his way down. Moreover, this episode really allows Alison Pill to shine, more so than any instance in the previous season and she effortlessly steals every scene she's in. The dialogue in this episode is practically perfect and despite some generous exposition to help set up the scene, it surprisingly doesn't feel excessive in any way. Raffi, Seven and Rios prepare to beam to Los Angeles and Jurati gives a solid set up, reminding everyone - including the viewer - of the dangers of affecting the timeline. And while her return is certainly welcome, it will hardly come as a surprise.įrankly, Rios is lucky to come away from that fall with just bruises, concussion and a dislocated finger (Image credit: Paramount Plus) However, given we've already been reminded of Guinan's presence in the premiere episode, it's seems more than likely to be her, especially given her species' unique ability to traverse time and Q's involvement in the proceedings. There's been some interesting speculation on who exactly "the watcher" is going to turn out to be, from Data's head, that should currently be a in cave somewhere under San Francisco as we saw in "The Next Generation" two-part episode " Time's Arrow" (S05, E26 & S06, E01), to a member of T'Mir's crew that remained on Earth in the underrated "Enterprise" episode " Carbon Creek" (S02, E02).

Thus begins a three-strand plot thread for this episode: Raffi, Seven and Rios beam to Los Angeles to look for "the watcher" that the Borg has said is critical to restoring the timeline while Picard and Jurati attempt to restore the Borg Queen back to health and squeeze some more information from her. Unfortunately, Elnor dies from his injuries. Fortunately Picard has the presence of mind to crash in the vineyards of Château Picard in La Barre, eastern France, rather than risk it near a populated area. A little worse for wear, La Sirena arrives in Earth orbit and begins an uncontrolled dive.
