Macleod-Johansson Relationship

The relationship between Justin Macleod and Lauren Johansson.
==Friendship History==
===Overview===
When Lauren Johansson joined the Victory-D, she became friends with Justin Macleod, while he dated her best friend, Kaycee Horton.
In The Child, Justin meets Lauren as the new ship's counselor. The two became friends.
In Shades of Grey, When Macleod was affected by the predatory plant microbe picked up on Surata IV, Lauren stayed with him through his convalescence. She was present during his treatment and relayed the emotions Justin was experiencing to then-girlfriend, Kaycee Horton, giving her indication of which memories to activate and which to suppress.
In The Price, During the negotiations for the Barzan wormhole in 2366, Macleod was challenged by the Chrysalian representative, Devinoni Ral, in more ways than one. Ral and Lauren began a romantic relationship, and Ral used this to intimidate Macleod about him being in love with Lauren. However, the Barzan wormhole was later determined to be worthless and Macleod gleefully withdrew the Federation bid in front of Ral, who had just secured rights for the Chrysalians through underhanded means.
In Menage a Jo-jo, After Justin's breakup with Kaycee, he starts falling for Lauren and tried to kiss her. But, Lauren stops him and tells him that he had just broke up with Kaycee and is going too fast. Justin agrees with her. They were interrupted by Lauren's mother when they were on a holiday in Lauren's hometown, Melbourne, Australia. A Ferengi DaiMon, Tog, later arrived to kidnap Victoria, taking Johansson and Macleod with her. They later engineered an escape and were rescued by the Victory.
In Best of Both Worlds, part 1, Both Justin and Lauren were shocked to see Wesley Crusher as a borg.
In Best of Both Worlds, part 2, Both Justin and Lauren were seen in the conference lounge, devastated that Crusher was gone.
In The Loss, The Victory became trapped by two-dimensional lifeforms in early 2367. They also suppressed Lauren's telepathic abilities and she found it difficult to deal with her loss. Justin tried to help her cope with the trauma, but she pushes him away. He then called her "aristocratic" and thought she was upset because her empathic powers helped her feel superior to her shipmates. When the Enterprise was freed, her abilities were restored. She apologized to Justin, but also made it clear that he was not to call her aristocratic again. They also began a relationship with each other.
In S.E.G.A.'s Day, Justin and Lauren attended the commitment ceremony of Charlene and June Tate together.
