Picard Already Teased How The Borg Queen Will Finally Lose
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 3 — «Assimilation»
Although the Borg Queen (Annie Wersching) remains a threat,Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 3 teased how the ruler of the Borg could eventually be defeated. The Borg Queen found herself as part of the dark Confederation reality after Q (John de Lancie) created a divergence in time that altered Star Trek history. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) was forced to rely on the Borg Queen's help to time travel back to 2024 to set the timeline right and a key interaction with Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) set the stage for how the Borg Queen could ultimately lose.
The Borg Queen hadn't encountered Jean-Luc Picard since Star Trek: First Contact but her revenge on the Starfleet Admiral nearly succeeded in Star Trek: Picard's season 2 premiere, «The Star Gazer.» The Borg tricked Starfleet into believing they were interested in joining the United Federation of Planets. Knowing Starfleet can't resist the idea of their greatest enemies joining the Federation, Picard was lured by the Borg to lead the negotiations. But it was all a ruse so that the Borg Queen could assimilate the USS Stargazer, which was rebuilt with Borg technology the Federation harvested from the Artifact. With the Borg Queen about to take control of an entire Starfleet Armada, Picard had no choice but to activate the Stargazer's self-destruct, which led to thousands of deaths — until Q meddled with the timeline to bring Picard into the new reality ruled by the Confederation, where the Borg Queen was a prisoner and the last of the Borg.
