Synopsis: The Borg Queen takes La Sirena back in time to 2024 Earth, where Admiral Picard and the others try to locate the Watcher to help them restore their timeline.
This episode can be seen as an illustration of the suppression of the unconscious by the conscious ego.
In “Assimilation,” in a phaser fight the magistrate and his aides shoot Elnor before the crew kills them. Elnor dies. The Borg Queen takes La Sirena back in time to 2024 Earth, where the ship crash lands on the estate of Chateau Picard. Once there, Captain Cristóbal Rios, Seven of Nine and Commander Raffi Musiker travel to Los Angeles, while Dr. Agnes Jurati and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard stay with the Borg Queen to try to get more information on the location of the Watcher. Jurati volunteers to be connected to the Borg Queen to help her recover and try to access the information she has, while at the same time trying not to be assimilated. The Borg Queen is revived and addresses Picard as Locutus. But before she can assimilate Jurati, Jurati detaches herself from the Borg Queen having recovered the coordinates where the Watcher can be found.
In this episode, when Jurati wants to revive the Borg Queen, but just enough so that she can get the information she needs from her, this can be compared to how the conscious ego believes that it can control and suppress the unconscious. And while as here, it may work for a time, suppressing the Borg Queen, as well as the unconscious, only results in her, or it, coming back to be acknowledged in an even stronger way.
