Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe platter Quark uses to serve hasperat on is shaped like the Starfleet insignia.
- GoofsBoth Odo and Worf talk about having established routines, such as Odo mentioning his patrol of the station as being so predictable that shopkeepers could set their watches by it.
This is NOT what good security personnel would do. A predictable routine would allow criminals and such to know where the officer would be - and not be - to plan their activities.
- Quotes
[Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters]
Quark: Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.
Odo: That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.
Quark: Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.
Major Kira: You could hear that?
Quark: [pointing at his ears] Hello?

When the show begins, First Minister Shakaar is visiting DS9. However, there are rumors that someone will be making an attempt on this new Bajoran leader's life--and so it's up to Odo and Worf to protect the guy. There are BIG complications, however, as Odo is extremely distracted. Instead of his steady and efficient demeanor, he is silently pining for Major Kira--and the only one who seems to realize this is Quark. Much of this distraction is because apparently Kira is a Bajoran hottie. First Vedek Bareil wants her and now Skakaar is smitten by her--and he confides in Odo about his desire to become more than just friends with her.
Believe it or not, this is an episode that might necessitate a Kleenex or two. Well worth seeing.
