Episode Info

I this two-part Voyager episode, the Voyager comes across Borg space – and it is vast. They also find out that the Borg have gotten themselves into quite a mess by crossing over the dimensional barrier and hitting the hornet’s nest with a stick. Fortunately, the Doctor is able to whip up a potential weapon, and Janeway suddenly has something to negotiate with. She strikes a bargain with the Borg to transport Voyager across Borg space in exchange for the key to destroying Species 8472. Meanwhile, Kes is communicating with 8472 by her ever-expanding telepathic and telekinetic powers, and Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One, is welcomed aboard the USS Voyager.
