While Seven begins to re-learn how to be a human, she suddenly experiences a flashback to her assimilation. This prompts her to begin exploring her former life, with her parents. Meanwhile, Janeway attempts to negotiate passage through a section of space 'owned' by the B'omar, a territorial species...

* CuttingTheKnot: When faced with a stronger-than-usual force field, Seven just beams directly into a shuttle.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: THE darkest and most troubled of any main cast member of Star Trek, we begin to explore Seven's past here.
* EurekaMoment: When Janeway discovers the nature of the bird from Seven's hallucinations, she knows what to look for: the ''U.S.S. Raven'', the Hansens' ship...
* FaceHeelTurn: Her flashbacks make her perform one, apparently. But Janeway refuses to accept this.
* HeroicBSOD: The strongest of Seven's flashbacks, involving her parents being taken away by the Borg and her hiding from them but being pulled out, induces this when she and Tuvok find the ''Raven''.
* HereWeGoAgain: A flashback to her father in great pain from being assimilated begins to regenerate Seven's implants, including her adaptive shields and what we initially think is her HiveMind link...
* LaymansTerms: Hypnogogic regressions = flashbacks.
* NoExceptYes: Seven says that creativity and imagination aren't necessary; Janeway agrees, but says they're important to one's life.
* NoSell: Before her shields adapt to the phasers, a stun blast has no effect on her. And she walks right through a force field, shorting it out.
