Q traps Picard and his friends in a timeline ruled by the xenophobic Confederation of Earth, and the only way out is through 2024 with the Borg Queen's help.
Q shows Picard an alternate present in which humanity's Confederation of Earth has conquered or wiped out alien species. Picard is its most celebrated general, about to oversee the execution of a captive Borg Queen, and Seven is its president, married to the Magistrate.
Reunited, the crew learns from the Queen that the change began in Los Angeles in 2024 and that only her help can get them there. Jurati, Raffi and Elnor seize control of communications and transporters while Picard and Seven stall the execution, and the group beams aboard La Sirena with the Queen. The Magistrate and his guards follow them aboard and wound Elnor. Doug Aarniokoski directed.
