Hardly anything escapes the always-alert eyes of constable Odo (René Auberjonois). But this time, it's not only his sharply honed observational skill that brings a mysterious visitor named Arissa (Dey Young) to his attention. It is the pull of that strongest of humanoid emotions: love. Of course, Odo is not a human. He's a Shape Shifter new to the ways of intimacy, yet not immune to the sorrow that can come when a relationship ends. His newfound love with Arissa seems so right, yet it is unavoidably doomed. Because Arissa isn't who she says she is - and the secret to her true identity lies inside a data crystal that she's come to the station to retrieve.

Schmooze a little, earn a lot! Quark (Armin Shimerman) finds what he thinks is the ideal way to get out of debt. He enters the lucrative and dangerous field of arms merchandising, skirting the ban on bringing weapons aboard the station by showing holosuite replicas of them to prospective clients. But a crisis of conscience overwhelms the Ferengi when he realizes he's on the brink of a sale that endangers 28,000,000 lives. Make that 28,000,001. Because Quark, too, is endangered when he realizes he must somehow stop the transaction, even though doing so will put him at odds with his cutthroat business partners.
