5.22 someone to watch over me

The doctor has somehow been appointed to teach Seven sincere but corny lessons in social interaction. The idea is that – unknown to her – she has the desire to date and perhaps mate. At least, she has been spending hours studying Tom and B’Elanna for some reason. The quest to make her socially acceptable leads to a bet between the doctor and Tom. Although her other dates don’t work out, she has developed an almost intimate friendship with the doctor, and she successfully shows up as his date. But when she finds out about the bet, she is hurt. The doctor apologizes to her but wants to do more – he has fallen in love with her. But although he practices telling a holographic version of her, he feels that the real Seven sees him only as a mentor and not as a suitor – so he says nothing and drops the whole concept.

An entertaining episode, as we get to watch Seven polish her social charms.
