Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLt. Cmdr. Worf does not appear in this episode as he was serving with the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Insurrection (1998).
- GoofsNorvo says that Ezri's new haircut "brings out her eyes." He fails to make note that her eye color has changed. It is established in "The Emperor's New Cloak" that Ezri had darker colored eyes before being joined and the bright blue eyes she is seen with throughout the series are the result of a physical alteration that occurred when she bonded to the Dax symbiont.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Odo: By the way, your gagh has arrived.
Ezri Dax: My what...? Oh, no.
Colonel Kira Nerys: Oh, yes. And it's waiting for you in cargo bay 2.
Colonel Kira Nerys: [incredulous] Your *gagh*?
Ezri Dax: Jadzia ordered it. She was planning a party for Martok's birthday next week.
Colonel Kira Nerys: How much gagh did she order?
Odo: Fifty-one cases.
Ezri Dax: Each containing a different variety.
Colonel Kira Nerys: There are *varieties* of gagh?
Ezri Dax: Oh, yes. I can remember what each one tastes like. And the way they feel when you... swallow them. Torgud gagh wiggles. Filden gagh squirms. Meshta gagh jumps...
[She starts dry-heaving; the conversation continues as she composes herself]
Ezri Dax: ...Bithool gagh has *feet*.
[to Odo]
Ezri Dax: Flush it out the airlock. All of it.
Odo: [shaking his head] Environmental regulations.
Colonel Kira Nerys: Well, why don't you just give it to Martok?
Ezri Dax: He'd insist on sharing it with me, as a point of honor.
[sighs]
Ezri Dax: Wistan gagh is packed in Targ blood...
[she looks nauseated]
Ezri Dax: I have to go now.

This episode has absolutely zero to do with space, sci-fi or adventure and exploration. It is a constructed family drama combined with an uninteresting murder mystery. And somehow O'Brien is involved as well, because he still feels that he owns mobster boss Bilby a favor for being a nice guy with a fluffy cat - when he wasn't busy killing, blackmailing or threatening any enemy of the Orion syndicate.
If you want to meet Ezri's forgettable brothers, especially Mr "I am a third grade wannabe artist and still live at home with mommy", then you might enjoy a few minutes of this episode. Orher than that such an episode in the last season is just a big waste of episode air time.
