Star Trek: Picard | Season 2 Episodes 3 & 4 ”Assimilation” & ”Watcher”

The crew of La Sirena manages to fend this alternate-reality magistrate and his soldiers, only to be pursued by more ships of the "Confederation" of Earth. Things seems dicey, but then the hook the Borg Queen up to the ship, she converts the whole thing over to Borg and sends them back to the year 2024. Which is before whatever timeline divergence took place.

 
So. Ok. But Elnor got shot in the chest. And he died....(DUN DUN DUN)
 
Now everyone is on edge. They crash-land at an abandoned Picard chateau, and folks go into LA to find this "watcher" that the Borg Queen was talking about. Meanwhile, Doc Jurati and Picard hook her up to the Queen to get her back online.
 
Tragedian-level antics ensue. There are pratfalls, car jacking, car chases, and arrests. A trip to the hospital for Rios. A trip down Jurati's subconscious for Picard and the Queen. And straight-up trip for Seven and Rafi, as they try to find the watcher and then try to find Rios.
 
Notable Mentions: a young Guinan, a new nickname for Rios, and you'll NEVER guess who the Watcher is!
