Easy: "Counterpoint". In which Janeway plays mind games with a space fascist and wins in the sense that she saves her people, but loses in the sense that she hoped she was wrong about his sudden and inevitable betrayal.
It's not just a great script, and one of Voyager's perfect little standalone episodes, but it spawned a lot of good fic and a whole mailing list, which is where I first encountered some people who are still friends to this day.
(The script was by Michael Taylor, who also wrote DS9's "In the Pale Moonlight", and went on to work on BSG. The man likes his morally ambiguous space dramas, and I respect that.)
( The rest of the days. )
