Stardate Unknown
Grand Nagus Zek (Wallace Shawn) selects Quark (Armin Shimerman) to negotiate the Ferengi expansion into the Gamma Quadrant. During the negotiations, he comes to rely on the assistance of a young Ferengi waiter, Pel (Hélène Udy), who is hiding a surprising secret. As the negotiations grow in intensity, their relationship becomes more complex.
In a shocking revelation, Pel tells Dax (Terry Farrell) that he is actually a she--and that she is in love with Quark. When a jealous Rom (Max Grodénchik) discovers that Quark has broken one of the rules of acquisition--taking advice from a woman--he threatens to expose them both and blow the most profitable opportunity in Ferengi history!

Stardate 47282.5
Quark (Armin Shimerman) is almost killed by a mysterious assassin when a beautiful Bajoran woman (Katherine Moffat) hires him to locate a strong box hidden on the station.
While Dr. Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) tends to the Ferengi's wounds, Odo (René Auberjonois) questions witnesses and learns of a list of Bajoran names found inside the box. In a series of powerful flashbacks, he recalls that five years earlier, when the station was under Cardassian control, he investigated a murder for which Kira (Nana Visitor) was the prime suspect. Somehow, he knows the two cases are connected, but finding the truth could cost him dearly.
