Some of the Borg children leave the ship as homes are found for them, Couldn’t they take Naomi Wildman too? Seven cries and the Doctor tells her it isn’t a malfunction. But then he checks and it is, her cortical node is failing. Icheb, the last of the Borg children, or the child who never wants to leave home, now wants to join StarFleet so Seven and Janeway humour him. Meanwhile Seven’s condition gets worse so Janeway wants to find a Borg debris field to get a replacement node. “It’s not every day we go looking for the Borg” says Chakotay though I’m pretty sure it is. At the debris field, Janeway spends time removing the node from a Borg head instead of just cutting off the head and taking it with her. Eventually some faux Kazons who apparently own the place, object to Janeway touching their stuff but are quickly dispatched. Of course it’s all pointless as the node still malfunctions. Seven says that Janeway can’t accept that she might die and shows her the ship’s casualty list. Though the list is all characters from the West Wing which just reminds me I could be watching that instead. Eventually Icheb comes up with a plan for Seven to use his node as he’s young he’ll adapt. The Doctor and Seven don’t want to do this as there’s a risk he could die but damnit, Seven’s life is too important! So, yeah, everyone ends up fine at the end and Seven cries again but this time it isn’t a malfunction. Can you see what they did there?
Well the episode was pretty standard but at least we got rid of three of the children.
