Good Except for Tiresome Flashbacks

The first half sets the scene for the final confrontation. Janeway decides to take advantage of a Borg mishap to steal a warp core from them. In order to do so, she needs to put everyone in danger. Seven begs to go with the away team. This leads to dire consequences and a return to her roots. She meets a Borg queen who knows her and claims to need her to bring about the destruction of earth.
