- With the help of Tallinn, Picard and the crew infiltrate a gala on the eve of a joint space mission, to protect one of the astronauts they believe to be integral to the restoration of the timeline - Renee Picard. Kore makes a startling discovery about her father's work.
- With the Queen's help, Agnes gives Picard, Tallinn, and Rios access to the gala. Agnes was not able to perform all the tasks by herself and agreed to give the Queen access to her mind and body to complete the mission. Tallinn can guess that Picard has some feelings for Laris.
Rios tells Raffi about Teresa and how she saves lives of the underprivileged at her clinic.
Q, having taken the role of Renée's therapist, stokes her insecurity with text messages, and she begins to flee the party. Picard and Tallinn had noticed Renee checking her phone too often. Tallinn hacks the phone to see who Renee is texting with and about what. They find that Renee is texting with Q, and telling him that she is not ready for the mission.
At the gala, Picard is confronted by Soong (who reveals that he has been sent by Q and declares that he cannot allow Renee to complete the mission), who alerts security that Picard is dangerous. Soong has just made a generous donation to the Europa mission and now sits on the board.
Agnes and the Queen cut the lights and create a distraction by singing a jazz cover of "Shadows of the Night". This allows Picard to evade security and catch up to Renee who was almost at the exit doors of the gala. The resulting rush of Endorphins allows the Queen to take full control of Agnes's body.
Picard finds Renee and persuades her to go through with the mission by talking about his mother, who also loved the stars and also had mental health struggles. Renee says that fear means that she is not ready for the mission. Picard counters that fear only means that she is smart and understands the risks. Picard says that Renee has to trust her instincts and find a light out of the darkness that she finds herself in. Picard brings Renee back to the gala.
After the gala, Soong sees Renee and Picard walking together outside and attempts to run over Renee with his car. Picard pushes her out of the way but is hit by the car and knocked unconscious. Rios and Tallinn find Picard and Rios decides to take Picard to Teresa's clinic.
After returning home, Soong deliriously rants at Kore. Soong says that he poured everything he had into Kore, and still failed. Soong says Kore is his life's work. Kore investigates his research and learns that she is the only one to have survived of many apparent clones he created.
At Teresa's clinic, Teresa gives Picard electric shocks to stabilize his heart. This process shorts all of her equipment and she realizes that Picard is not a normal human. Teresa goes home to care for her son, and tells the crew that Picard is stable, and she is not sure why he is not waking up. Teresa wants to know who Rios and his friends are, but he is not able to give her answers just yet. Tallinn uses her Tricorder to find that Picard's brain is hyperactive. But brain activity should be minimal in a coma, so something is not right. Tallinn decides to enter Picard's mind to help him wake up from a memory that his mind is fixated on. Picard is stuck inside his memories and cannot find a way out. The memory had some vague images of a violent incident involving Picard's mother at their vineyard house in France.
Agnes Jurati becomes the Borg Queen.
