>>823016 Last season double episode finale begins something like 15 years in the future, where the crew of the Voyager are at a Starfleet party. Janeway leaves quietly and steals something, plugs it into the much-upgraded Delta Flyer and uses it to travel back in time and space to the Delta Quadrant.
She meets her younger self on the Voyager and tells her to go into a Borg controlled nebula, after upgrading the Voyager. The Borg attacks fail against the new armor and weapons, and they find a Borg transwarp hub that can cut their journey by 16 years. The older Janeway wants to use it to get the Voyager home, but the younger Janeway wants to destroy it to save other planets. The older Janeway tells her younger self that Seven and some other crew members will die on the long journey, and that Tuvok is suffering from a degenerative disease. The younger Janeway isn't convinced, however, so the older Janeway is inspired and comes up with a plan to do both.
The older Janeway takes a transwarp conduit to the Unicomplex to kill the Queen, while the younger Janeway takes the Voyager through the transwarp hub toward the Alpha Quadrant. The Queen triangulates on the older Janeway's cloaked position as they chat and beams her over to be assimilated, but Janeway has a pathogen in her bloodstream that causes the Borg to physically degenerate and they both die, taking everything else with them. Meanwhile, the younger Janeway escapes pursued by a Borg Sphere, destroying the transwarp manifolds along the way.
They enter the Sphere because they're unable to destroy it from the outside, and they're met by approaching Federation ships just as they destroy the Sphere from within. There's a moment of disbelief and when they get themselves together again, Janeway orders them to set a course for home. Same line as the first episode of the series.
