History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS4E2TheGift

* OmniscientDatabase: Captain Janeway was able to match Seven of Nine to a child in a family that disappeared 20 years earlier, and details about the last time this family was seen from an obscure space station.

* [[RaisedByOrcs Raised By Borg]]

* ShuttingUpNow: [[http://reviewboy.com/thegift.html Jim "Reviewboy" Wright explains what happens]] when Janeway shoots a DeathGlare at the Doctor.
-->"This drone cannot survive outside of the Collective," Seven shouts.\\
Behind the captain's shoulder, Doc raises a finger, cheerfully pointing out that her prognosis is excellent. "With the Borg implants removed, your human systems are free to thrive--and thriving they are," he says happily. "As a matter of fact, I--"\\
Janeway does an over-the-shoulder, high-intensity burst of The Look.\\
Doc's Mute button is activated instantly. He turns around and runs away.\\
The female security officer bursts into flames.\\
Three audience members in Fort Madison, Iowa, sitting a little too close to the screen, will never be able to look a redhead in the eye again without screaming incoherently. A pity; one of them is a redhead. Before the hour is up, every mirror in her house is shattered in self-defense.\\
Janeway returns her gaze to Seven of Nine; they stand toe to toe as the security officer stops, drops and rolls.

* DeusExMachina: Kes hurls Voyager nine-and-a-half thousand light years, out of Borg space and ten years closer to home.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: Though it's never spelled out, the title of the episode could be taken to refer, not just to Kes' ascension or her sending ''Voyager'' out of Borg space and much closer to home, but also to what Janeway is offering Seven of Nine in regaining her individuality and personality, and finding a home among the ship's crew. Seven, naturally, sees it as more of a curse and will take quite some time to change this view or establish any emotional connections.

* TitleDrop: Kes says, "My gift to you" before hurling Voyager ten years closer to home.

* POVCam: Seven zooming in on the communications node.

* BackhandedCompliment: The Doctor doesn't like Tuvok (guarding Seven) crowding his Sickbay.
-->'''Tuvok:''' Perhaps [Kes] is experiencing an after-effect of some kind. \\

* StockEpisodeTitles: '''91 uses.'''

'''Seven:''' Then you are [[NotSoDifferent no different than the Borg.]]

* HealingHands: Kes uses her psycho-kinetic powers to destroy a Borg implant that's threatening to kill Seven.

** On first meeting Seven of Nine, Harry babbles awkwardly and B'Elanna butts heads.

* HeroesPreferRedheads: Our redheaded captain tells Seven there's much about Annika Hansen they don't know about, like what was her favourite color? Later on after finally accepting her situation Seven answers the question.
-->'''Seven:''' The child you spoke of. Her favourite color was red.

* SheCleansUpNicely: From the FanDisservice of Seven's mottled skin, Borg armor and disconnected cybernetic implants, to Seven in a FutureSpandex wearing makeup and her hair done up in a French pleat.

* MoodWhiplash: On being woken by the crew Seven starts to speak in her usual arrogant manner, then her voice cracks as she suddenly realises she's no longer connected to the HiveMind.

* ShuttingUpNow
-->'''Seven:''' This drone cannot survive outside the Collective!\\
'''EMH:''' ''(cheerfully)'' I beg to differ. Now that the Borg implants are being excised, your human systems are free to thrive. And thriving they are. As a matter of fact, I--\\
''(Janeway gives Doc a DeathGlare. He flees.)''
