* DeathSeeker: B'Elanna starts engaging in higher- and higher-risk activities on the holodeck with the safeties off. It's pretty clear that if Chakotay hadn't stepped in, she would have kept going until she got herself killed. B'Elanna however denies she's trying to commit suicide by proxy, she's just trying to feel something, anything at all, even if it's only physical pain.

* ScrewYourUltimatum: The captain of a Malon freighter holds Voyager responsible for the destruction of another of their ships and announces that they're taking Voyager's new probe as compensation and demands that they immediately leave orbit of the gas giant in which it's currently trapped (presumably under threat of violence). Janeway, never one to take anyone's crap, reminds him that the other ship tried to steal their probe and was destroyed going into the gas giant after it, against Voyager's warnings. When he continues to press the matter, insisting that their people are salvage experts and Voyager has little chance of getting to the probe first in any event, Janeway just smirks and busts out this little gem:
-->"We have a little expertise of our own; we're a very determined crew, so ''my'' suggestion is that ''you'' leave orbit, and in the future, if you come across anything that bears the insignia of the USS ''Voyager'', head in the other direction."

''Voyager'' finds itself in conflict with Malon salvage vessels who are trying to steal their multi-spatial probe, trapped in the upper layers of a gas giant. Tom Paris suggests they build a new, enhanced shuttlecraft to get it back. But the crew become concerned about the behaviour of their Chief Engineer, who keeps engaging in high-risk activities on the holodeck.
