"Retrospect" is the 85th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, airing on the UPN network. It is the 17th episode of the fourth season. This episode is unusually placed, since it is breaking up the Hirogen story arc.

In this episode, Voyager's Doctor helps Seven of Nine interpret repressed memories, leading to an accusation of assault against an alien arms dealer.

Captain Janeway bargains with Kovin, a self-centered Entharan trader, about the purchase of an isokinetic cannon. Kovin agrees to install it, for a gratuity or fee. While Janeway has concerns about his attitude, Janeway agrees to have Seven of Nine work with him on the installation of the device as well on Voyager. During this work, Kovin pushes Seven out of his way and Seven angrily reacts by striking him.

In a subsequent medical examination conducted by the Doctor, Seven is overcome by distress. The Doctor is convinced Seven is repressing some form of memory experience and tells Captain Janeway so.

Under hypnosis by the Doctor, Seven recalls a traumatic repressed memory. In her mind, she sees the same trader, Kovin, with whom Voyager made the transaction recently. She remembers him forcefully removing Borg technology from her body—while on a Voyager mission with ship's helmsman Tom Paris—on the Entharan planet to test some of Kovin's disruptors. In essence, Seven says that she was violated by the aforementioned trader—Kovin.

Seven then recounts to the ship's holographic Doctor the events in her mind of how she remembers her violation. It begins with a weapons test where Lt. Paris was using a new energy assault rifle for Voyager defenses on the Entharan planet, when Seven went with Kovin to do some remodulating. At Kovin's workshop, she scans the device, but he turns the weapon on her and fires—which incapacitates her. Seven then remembers a female lab assistant, and the extraction of her Borg parts. Then she goes on to detail her assimilation tubules being removed of nanoprobes, tested the probes on another person in the lab which assimilated him, and other internal components. Afterwards, she can only recall Kovin telling her the weapon overloaded and burned her hand — which Seven now believes to be a lie.
