Stardate 45854.2 Answering a distress call from a strange planet, the Enterprise finds a crashed Borg ship with one young Borg survivor (Jonathan Del Arco). Despite the risk; Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) beams up the injured Borg, and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) must remove some of his brain implants in order to save him. Seeing a rare opportunity, Picard orders Geordi (LeVar Burton) to sabotage the reimplanted chips by installing an invasive command that will "infest" the entire Borg Collective. Disconnected from the Collective, The captive Borg begins to develop individual identity and emotions. As a result, he befriends several crew members, including Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg). But Picard hasn't forgotten his own painful assimilation by the Borg and is reluctant to pull back from his plan to annihilate them.

Commander Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy), a specialist in Borg matters, to the Enterprise.

Under Riker's command, the Enterprise pursues the Borg who appear to be headed for Earth. After Shelby leads a thwarted rescue attempt, a Borg spokesperson contacts the Enterprise.
