Season 3 » Episode #17 - Unity

Summary: Stardate: 50614.2 While in a shuttlecraft, Commander Chakotay and Ensign Kaplan receive a Federation distress signal. However, being in the Nekrit Expanse, pinpointing the signal is difficult enough, let alone trying to communicate with the person on the other end. The two manage to find the planet where the signal originated from, but are attacked when they land their shuttlecraft on the surface.In another part of the Expanse, Voyager’s sensors pick up a ship directly ahead of them. With sensors limited in range, it turns out Voyager and the unidentified ship are only a few thousand kilometers apart. Moving into visual range, the crew gazes out upon a Borg cube adrift in space.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: Former-Borg Riley says she was assimilated at Wolf 359 (re:"Star Trek: The Next Generation: Best of Both Worlds: Part 2"). But the Borg ship that battled Federation forces at Wolf 359 later went to Earth and was ultimately destroyed by actions of Enterprise-D. There was no way that newly-assimilated Borg could to be transported back to the Delta Quadrant.
FAKE: The seam on Riley's skull cap makeup is visible when she isn't wearing her wig.
