Continuing his efforts to teach Seven the art of social interaction, the doc is now destined to unravel the secrets of the dating and romantic relationships chapter. The doc himself though is more of a beginner than a professional when it comes to romance and love, but among the blind people the one-eyed man is king.
Since Seven still has a rather wooden and direct tone towards those around her, the doc's lessons lead to all sorts of funny situations, for example when Seven invites a colleague on a date and there is an incident while eating lobster. At the end of the date, she almost dislocates his arm while dancing, so he has to be treated by the doc for a torn ligament.
As the doc goes through the individual lessons with Seven, he slowly begins to fall in love with her. Some users see this as borrowing from the myth of Pygmalion, but the doc doesn't create his perfect woman himself for his own pleasures. It's more like the spark of romantic affection is ignited between two outsiders. However, Seven does not feel this affection to the same extent as the doc, so he ultimately does not openly express his feelings towards her.
The B-plot, on the other hand, is pretty lame and can easily be forgotten. Neelix has been given the task of looking after a diplomatic guest. However, the guest surprises him by discovering that he is not as averse to worldly pleasures as he assumed. Neelix plays babysitter while his guest makes his way through half of Neelix's menu and also gets a taste for synthehol. In contrast to the A-plot, this seems rather silly.
