Synopsis

After defeating a Borg vessel, Janeway launches an ambitious plan to steal a piece of Borg technology that could get the U.S.S. Voyager home. When the Borg detect her plan, they swiftly access Seven of Nine's neural transceiver and make her an "offer" she can't refuse -- rejoin the Borg collective or the U.S.S. Voyager and it's crew will be assimilated. Janeway must confront the Borg in their own vessel in order to rescue Seven, risking a possibly devastating confrontation with the Borg Queen!

Notes

"A Special Two-Hour Telefilm" airing at 8:00 pm.
Seven and Voyager found the remains of the S.S. Raven in the episode "Raven".
Through the logs downloaded from the S.S. Raven, we get a glimpse into the lives of the Hansens before they were assimilated.
The Borg assimilated approximately 392,000 drones from Species 10026 (Brunali) after Seven joined them.
Using the Borg Transwarp Coil, Voyager was able to get 20,000 light years closer to home, shaving 15 years off their trip.
Borg drones assigned to Unimatrix 01 are in direct contact with the Borg Queen. Seven of Nine was the Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01.
The Borg don't have a homeworld, but a massive Borg Unicomplex in space which contains trillions of drones.
Susanna Thompson previously played Dax's former lover Lenara Kahn in the DS9 episode "Rejoined", which featured the infamous "lesbian kiss." Susanna Thompson was one of the final actresses considered for the role of the Borg Queen in the movie Star Trek: First Contact.
This episode did very well in the ratings, with a 7.0 rating/11% share.
The Borg refer to Humans as Species 5618; origin Spatial Grid 325. The Borg refer to Ktarians as Species 6961.
