Star Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 5 titled, «Fly Me To The Moon» sheds quite a bit more light on just what the crew of the stargazer is going to have to do in order to fix the future. Of course, what it hasn't quite shown is just how the crew is going to get back once it thinks it's figured out how to fix things. The episode also finally shows the two-pronged approach that Q is using in order to change the future.

That in and of itself is a bit odd, because the first four episodes of the series seemed to make it clear that he changed exactly one thing in order to make Picard's present a kind of hellscape.

It turns out that this particular episode demonstrated that in very big ways. It also happened to demonstrate that when someone is as close to pure evil as the Borg Queen is, it's probably not a good idea to take them into
