Stardate: 51003.7 As part of the agreement for Voyager to help the Borg fight Species 8472 in exchange for safe passage through Borg space, Janeway agrees to journey onboard the escorting Borg cube.
The Borg want to implant links to the crew, but Janeway balks, insisting that the Borg instead supply a drone to act as their contact. The Borg agree and choose an assimilated human known as Seven of Nine to monitor the crew.
Can Voyager fight off Species 8472 for the Borg? And, can the Borg be trusted not to assimilate the crew if they can?

Scorpion
The title of this episode is likely taken from the tale about the scorpion and the turtle. The tale goes something like – a scorpion needs to cross a river; but it can’t swim. So the scorpion asks a turtle to carry it across on its back. To which the turtle replies, "No. You'll sting me, and I won't be able to swim. And then I'll drown."
But to this the scorpion reassures the turtle that it has nothing to worry about. "It wouldn't make sense for me to sting you," it says. "For if you were to drown, then I would drown too."
The turtle is persuaded, and agrees to carry the scorpion across the river. Alas, halfway across, the scorpion stings the turtle in the neck. To which the paralyzed turtle exclaims, "Why did you do that? Now we will both drown.”
To which the scorpion replies, "I guess it's just in my nature."
The scorpion here, of course, being the Borg.
