I'm going to guess "Turnabout Intruder," the original series episode where a woman exchanges minds with Kirk. When Spock, Scotty, and Bones figure it out and conspire against her, she orders them executed. Of course, since no one violated "General Order IV," Sulu and Chekhov refuse to comply. The intense anger drives the woman's mind back into her own body, and Kirk's to his. As I recall, it was the last OS episode aired.
*looks it up* "Phantasms." Other than not having the name, I had the right episode.
Ok, next one.
"It is called Kal'Hyah -- the path of clarity."
"You've put on weight. And your hair is going gray."
"My deterioration is proceeding apace."
"I thought you would be in your grave by now."
"I shall endeavor to die this year if possible."
"We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought I'd marry? She is a mercurial, arrogant, prideful woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste.
And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle and our desire for honor and glory above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with. And Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart."
Data lying on an analyst's couch, staring up at the
ceiling.
DATA
It is difficult to explain.
Counselor Troi's body was -- a cake.
Freud raises a bushy eyebrow, intrigued.
FREUD
Her upper-body...
(scribbles a note)
Describe the knife you used to... "cut" the Counselor.
DATA
It had a black handle and a serrated blade. And it was quite long.
Freud reacts.
FREUD
How long?
DATA
Approximately twenty-five centimeters in length.
Freud nods and grunts, as if this has great meaning.
FREUD
What happened next?
Data remembers.
DATA
One of the workmen pointed to her right shoulder. At that moment, I felt an overwhelming urge to cut a piece out of the cake.
FREUD
And did you... ?
Data's face darkens slightly -- he's troubled by the memory.
DATA
Yes. As I began to slice the cake, she reacted as though I was causing her pain. And yet, I could not stop cutting.
(beat)
It was then that I woke up.
FREUD
Mmm...
Freud jots down another note.
DATA
I am curious, Doctor Freud... what do my nightmares mean?
Freud takes a moment, then he sets down his note pad and stands... moves to a nearby cigar box and takes out a VERY LARGE CIGAR. He toys with it throughout the scene.
FREUD
I believe you are experiencing a classic dismemberment dream. Or in your case... being a mechanical man... a dismantlement dream.
DATA
I do not understand.
As Freud explains, he moves about the room, quickly rattling off his theories with great enthusiasm.
FREUD
Your mechanistic qualities are trying to reassert themselves over your human tendencies. Ego and id are struggling for domination.
The "workmen" symbolize the ever-present id constantly working to destroy the ego.
(beat)
The image of Counselor Troi, a female, is devoured by you... clearly indicating an unconscious desire to possess your own mother.
DATA
But I do not have a mother.
FREUD
(quickly)
Do not interrupt. The knife and its violent connotation suggests a certain feeling of sexual inadequacy...
DATA
I have no sexual desires.
FREUD
(reacts)
Ach! Repression on top of everything. It is all becoming clear to me now...
(thinks)
There might be a paper in this... I could call it "Mister D: An Analysis of Android Dementia."
Data stands up from the couch -- he's had enough.
DATA
I do not believe I am being helped by this session.
Freud turns to Data, raising his voice.
FREUD
Classic transference! Your anger toward me is, in fact, the animosity you feel toward your father.
(beat)
You are a polymorphously-perverse individual, Mister Data, and I recommend full psychoanalysis.

Ok, let's see.
The 'tailor' comment and 'cutting remarks' bracket Garak getting assaulted in his shop, and being doctored.
Klingons, or someone else? I forget.
The second quote was Sisko explaining how he felt after his wife passed away.
The very first quote was when the Klingons went to war and ended their treaty with the Federation, and Worf chose to
remain with the Federation. (Spelling doom for Kurn and the House of Mogh, pretty much.)
NG episode "The Wounded"? O'Brien helps Picard stop a rogue Starfleet captain from attacking a Cardassian ship (even though the captain was "right" in doing so). O'Brien is forced to deal with memories of a previous massacre by the Cardassians.

It is.

Kira was seriously overworked and overstressed. Dr Bashir ORDERED her to relax. The second speaker was Quark.
(As we know from a later episode, she never used the holosuite, so she must have finished 2 of the food-items,

I don't know the episode's name-but I should.
Data was having odd waking dreams, seeing mouths on crewmembers, and a straw and
similar things. He even consulted a holodeck simulation of Sigmund Freud about them.
(Freudian diagnoses was amazingly funny for this case-if Steve! posts the exchange,
you'll get the idea.)
Turned out some lifeforms slightly out of phase were parasites, and feeding off the
cellular peptides of the crewmembers. (In his dream, Worf was eating
"cellular peptide cake...with mint frosting".)
It's also the episode where Data, concerned he was attacking crew (subconsciously
trying to hit a parasite) that he asked Worf to watch Spot for him.
It's a priceless scene, between the way Worf held the cat and Data's elaborate
instructions, and how Worf agreed.
I used to remember the name...

Thanks, Steve!
Correct episode. I knew the Martok quote I ended with was the giveaway,
but it's easily the best quote in an entire episode of great quotes.
It's one of the few episodes I think viewers should sit down, and watch without
interruption or multitasking.

I thought that was the title, but I wasn't sure.
Odd seeing Worf with the red uniform the first time.
I was glad, later, that the scriptwriters read the Star Trek DS9 Nitpickers Guide,
and later scripts fixed the complaints on earlier scripts.
Like how Worf's job seemed to be light-since he can just get up and leave
whenever he wants, and a later episode when he was away showed the
senior staff griping about having to cover each of HIS duties on top of their
own. It took a few seconds, and made the fans feel better. We also now
knew what he did all day.
Next episode. Let's see, I had one that just sprang to mind...
