Star Trek: Voyager 7x03 "Drive"
B'Elanna: I'm surprised you're putting time into this.
Seven: Initially I did find the activity irrelevant. But then I realized that it's important for the crew's morale, and for my relationship with Lieutenant Paris.

During Infinite Regress, all of the assimilated personalities who come out are acting on Seven’s repressed desires for her. The ones who emerge from the vinculum are able to because that’s where her defenses are already strained. Most of them are asserting her position on Voyager as a member of the crew.
She breaks into the mess hall because she is not satiated with how she’s been feeding herself. She wants to play with Naomi Wildman since she never really got to be a kid. She is an aggressive Klingon with B’Elanna because she has repressed sexual desire towards her. She becomes Meryl, a child, with Tuvok because she sees him as a mentor she’s afraid to disappoint, but she transforms into a Vulcan then Klingon because she also sees him as a kindred spirit that she can speak to as an equal and challenge.
Ensign Stone’s log shows her insecurities serving on Voyager and her fear of disappointing Janeway, even if she’s getting positive reinforcement. Another log shows she wants more intimate connections with her peers.
As a Ferengi, she is impressed and sees (literal) value in Voyager, and she negotiates with Janeway for it. Of anyone, it would be most important for Seven to communicate Voyager’s value to Janeway. As a mother of someone lost at Wolf 359, she shows how keenly she feels the loss of her family to the Borg and reacts with a mixture of fear and grief. She is helpless to do anything faced with the enormity of what the Borg has done, both as a victim and perpetrator of Borg activity. She trades jokes as a Bolian manicurist, betraying her emerging sense of humor. As a Krenim physicist, and shows she doesn’t have full faith in Borg perfection since there is room for debate. It is interesting this is the point in which Janeway questions her status as a crew member with Chakotay on the bridge, since every emergent personality seems to act to assert her position (even if some of them are violent). Seven is terrified, not only of the voices reconnecting her to the Borg but because their emergence could completely undo everything she’s worked so hard to achieve onboard.
By the time Tuvok attempts a mindmeld, she cycles through all of the personalities because she implicitly trusts Tuvok to be able to help her without judgment. The chaos of the emergent personalities breaking down her defenses because of the vinculum can be filtered through the logical, orderly mind of someone who cares about her.
The crew comes together to free her from the effects of the vinculum, despite giving them all a big Borg scare.
The EMH sums it up nicely, “You may not hear them, but I suspect they’ll always be with you.” Then she goes and plays with Naomi, responding to the first unmet interactive desire the personalities brought out.
