I admit, I misremembered the climax a bit, both this time and last time. It's an Odo episode which I feel doesn't tell us too much about Odo and doesn't know how to get where it wants to be. All of our side stories are good; Keiko wants to be useful, Sisko and Dax are adjusting to their new relationship, and Bashir continues to be Bashir. 

The first few episodes of DS9 try to focus on individual characters like Sisko, Odo, Kira, O'Brien, Dax, Quark, and Bashir, but if you're new to the series, what would you if you had an episode to tell us about those characters?
