Mezoti, one of the Borg children still on board Voyager, holds the key to the mystery. The boy’s parents plan on using him as a secret genetic weapon for revenge on the Borg, even if it results in his death.

Our Take

Solid, satisfying television. The season’s engine keeps turning and the character work pays.
