As the survivor, dubbed "John Doe" by the crew, recovers, he develops a rapport with Doctor Crusher and the rest of the crew, but his recovery almost seems too miraculous and it is discovered that not only is John Doe recuperating with incredible speed, but he is mutating as well. But his presence on the Enterprise is seen by all as a benefit; the Crushers grow close to Doe, Geordi grows close to another Enterprise crew member, and all seems well with the exception of Doe's occasional mutative side effects until Sunad - obviously of the same race as Doe - arrives to take Doe, who he claims to be a dangerous criminal, prisoner. But it is soon revealed that John Doe is an outcast from his own society because he has been exiled by the normal elements of his people who fear his impending mutation into a higher life form. When Sunad boards the Enterprise to take Doe, Doe completes his mutation and, forgiving his persecutors, sends Sunad back to his ship unharmed and departs from the Enterprise by himself.

Picard becomes the Borg speaker for the invasion of Earth; LocutusBest of Both Worlds, Part 1

Commander Shelby, a tactical advisor from Starfleet with her eye on promotion to a first officer - perhaps of the Enterprise - joins the crew as they investigate the latest planet victimized by the Borg. After another Federation planet is attacked, the Enterprise sets off in pursuit of the Borg. During the flight, Riker learns of Shelby's impetuousity and the possibility that he himself is long overdue to command a starship of his own. The Borg intercepts the Enterprise and does critical damage, and the Enterprise enters a nebula to evade capture. When some repairs are made, the Enterprise tries to escape but is captured by the Borg. They board the Enterprise, kidnap Captain Picard, and warp toward Earth. The Enterprise follows the Borg through Federation space until Geordi can't keep the warp engines up to speed. Shelby leads an away team to the Borg vessel where she, Worf, Data and Dr. Crusher sabotage the Borg's internal power network. They are attacked and hold off their attackers until the Borg adapt to generate their own shields against the crew's hand phasers. And Captain Picard is found - no longer human, modified into a Borg. The away team returns to the Enterprise, leaving Riker with a momentous decision - he must use a variation of the Enterprise's deflectors to disrupt the Borg and possibly kill Picard.
