* BlatantLies: Seven attacked Kovin "like an animal" after he gave her a "gentle push".

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Seven breaks Kovin's nose when he rudely pushes her away from a console. Given that everyone finds Kovin annoying, her behavior doesn't seem that unusual, until Seven has a panic attack while confined on the biobed.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Particularly bad in this respect, being designed around the line "He violated me" in such a way as to make it sound very much as though Seven was going to be raped by a crew member; the trailer even featured a "Who did it?" sequence with flashes of various male crew members' faces. The actual episode, however, was just about an alien culture trapping her in a laboratory for study and stealing some of her nanoprobes. The plot does play at Does This Remind You of Anything?, with Borg nanoprobes replacing date rape, but it was still incredibly misleading.

Added DiffLines:

A weapons merchant named Kovin is on board ''Voyager'', trying to convince Captain Janeway to purchase some of his goods. She agrees, but while Kovin is helping the engineering team install them, Seven of Nine suddenly attacks him. The Doctor tries to help Seven understand why she did what she did, and she eventually becomes convinced that Kovin had (prior to the episode's start) incapacitated her and removed some of her Borg nanoprobes, presumably to study and incorporate in new weapons.
