Stardate 50712.5
When a prominent member of the Cardassian underground comes aboard, Kira (Nana Visitor) hopes he will head the opposition to the Dominion Alliance. But the guest has his own agenda. He's dying - and he wants Kira to be his daughter during his last hours. The request is not as unusual as it may first seem. The Cardassians once kidnapped Kira and had her surgically altered to look like his long-lost child. Now, since the official has no immediate family, he wants Kira to be his heir during a Cardassian ritual in which the dying person imparts vital secrets to the next of kin. Station Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) views this as an unexpected opportunity for the Federation to learn invaluable political information. But a trauma from Kira's past may turn it into an opportunity lost.

Stardate Unknown
Welcome home, Quark (Armin Shimerman)! Next time, however, you may want to announce your visit in advance instead of just dropping in on the childhood home where your kind, dear Moogie still lives. One peek into your bedroom closet explains why. Or, as Quark exclaims: "What's the Nagus doing in my closet?" The secret is out. Grand Nagus Zek - the ruler of all Ferenginar - has become the lover of Quark's mother. Inside information like this is a dangerous thing, especially to opportunistic Quark, who makes a deal with a Ferengi politician. The deal: Quark will break up the romance if the Fernegi Commerce Authority lifts his name from the trading blacklist.
