When Icheb, one of the Borg children's, parents are found one would think it was good news but he has forgotten about them and initially wants to remain on Voyager. It is clear that Seven of Nine doesn't want to see him go either as she has grown close to him. As Icheb gets to know his parents he grows closer and realises that he can pursue his interest in science on their planet. After leaving him one of the other children tells Seven about how Icheb had been captured by the Borg, what she says does not match what his parents said and Borg records confirm that his parents had indeed been lying. The questions are why would they lie and what do they plan to do with him?
This was a reasonably good episode guest starring the always watchable Mark Sheppard as Icheb's father. The story was rather slow getting started but ended well with a surprising revelation concerning Icheb and a brief but exciting confrontation with the Borg.
