[VOY] Season 3, Episode 17: Unity
Rating: 3
Unity further establishes The Borg’s presence in the series, and it’s mostly interesting. At this point in the Trek franchise, however, The Borg have pretty much been used up and stretched past their conceptual breaking point.

Notes:
They mention that they’re still in the Nekrit expanse, which they strangely haven’t mentioned at all in the last couple episodes.
Chakotay answers a distress signal, but then he’s ambushed!
He’s saved by a lady and her friends
Meanwhile, Voyager comes across a Borg cube that’s adrift!
Chakotay eats half of a vegetable and puts the other half back in the basket because he’s a monster.
The big twist is that the lady that had hair is actually bald! Also, she and her friends used to be Borg.
In order to fully heal Chakotay, they need to link with him. It also makes him fall in love with the lady. (Once she puts her wig back on)
They get back to Voyager and ask if they can reactivate the generator on the Borg cube in order to link up all the former Borg that made it to the planet.
Then Chakotay hears voices,
So he shoots B’Elanna.
He manages to get to the Borg cube and reactivates the generator. It makes it so the mean people are now part of the link, and get along.
It also reactivates all the Borg on the cube!
Somehow the former Borg on the planet make it so the Borg cube self-destructs.
