'''Icheb:''' What about you? You've refused to rely on a single member of this crew. You hid your condition from the rest of us, you deactivated the Doctor, and now you're rejecting my help. You're the one who needs to rely on others. ''(to Janeway)'' Isn't that what people on this ship do? They help each other?\\

** Denial: Seven spends the entire first act trying to pretend that nothing's wrong.
** Anger: When she does end up in Sickbay, she lashes out at the Doctor and Icheb.
** Bargaining: She manages to negotiate some time out of Sickbay (after escaping) under B'Elanna's supervision.
** Depression: She then worries that she'll die having failed to meet Janeway's expectations.
** Acceptance: She's just reaching this stage when Icheb saves the day.

* WhatTheHellHero: Janeway suggests breaking into a Borg ship to rip the cortical implant out of a living drone. The Doctor flat-out refuses to be party to that, because it would be tantamount to murder. Given the number of Borg they've met who have or attempted to restore their own lives, along with the presence of Seven herself, his argument is valid, and Janeway backs off.

---> '''Seven:''' You're acting like a child.\\
'''Icheb:''' I'm trying to save your life.\\
'''Seven:''' Only because you've grown too dependent on me.\\

'''Seven:''' Yes.\\

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A serious illness that starts with symptoms the patient initially doesn't report because they're only mildly bothersome; when she does visit a doctor, he dismisses it as just in her head and says there's no need to worry. What keeps this from going the way of many early consultations with chronically or terminally ill patients in RealLife is the computer beeping at the Doctor that Seven is in fact correct to be concerned.
