It's the time of the The Bajoran Gratitude Festival and presider Kira is making preparations. She's expecting Vedek Bareil and chief O'Brien is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his wife and daughter. Odo is less happy. He had hoped to spend the festival with Kira, Jake is experiencing love sickness. His girlfriend Mardah left for an university 300 light years away. When Bareil and O'Brien's family arrive, the Betazoid ambassador Lwaxana Troi is also in their shuttle. She has one goal: start a romantic relationship with Odo. When the festival starts some more unusual attractions pop up; Jake suddenly falls in love with Kira and Bareil abandons Kira to pursue Dax. Meanwhile O'Brien's love life isn't too well. The two days he has to spent with Keiko start off on the wrong foot. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl) |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This is one of director of photography Jonathan West's favorite episodes due to the fact that director Avery Brooks allowed West to try some new cinematography techniques: there was more light on the set than usual, color was emphasized much more so than in a standard show, all the characters were bathed in a subtle pink light to enhance the mood, balloon foil was used in the background of many shots to get random sparkles, and purple (a color forbidden from the Star Trek color palette due to its association with "old science fiction artificiality") was allowed to be used.

| Goofs | Lwaxana Troi is able to affect Quark telepathically, but it has been established in Star Trek canon that Betazoids cannot telepathically read or affect Ferengi due to the Ferengi's quad-lobed brain structure. See more » |

| Quotes |
Doctor Bashir:
Nervous, Chief? Chief O'Brien: What're you talking about? Doctor Bashir: That's your fifth cup of coffee in twenty minutes. Chief O'Brien: I didn't realize you were keeping track. Doctor Bashir: Oh, nervous and irascible. Chief O'Brien: If you hadn't seen your wife and child for two months, you'd be irascible too. Doctor Bashir: Well, believe me, I'm looking forward to Keiko and Molly's visit as much as you are. Chief O'Brien: Ha-ha, I doubt that. Doctor Bashir: How many games of raquetball have we played in the last two months? Chief O'Brien: I don't know, um... Fifteen, maybe twenty? Doctor Bashir: No, try seventy. I've been keeping track of that, too. And you know what all those games have proved to me? That I'm a poor substitute for your wife. Chief O'Brien: I could've told you that sixty games ago.
