This is a station-bound episode--and generally these are among some of the weaker shows in the series.
The first plot involves Lwaxana Troi. She's come to the station for sanctuary, as her new husband (Michael Ansara) is a Tavnian and despite their agreement, he's decided that when their child is born, he'll be raised in a traditional Tavnian manner--with zero contact with females until he's 16. In other words, once Lwaxana's little bundle of joy pops out, it was be forcibly taken from her! She is not thrilled and seeks help from her old friend Odo. But what they have to do is pretty drastic! What exactly will they do?
The second plot is uber-creepy to say the least. An older alien woman (Meg Foster) is VERY interested in Jake and seduces him. While the relationship isn't exactly sexual, it sure seems creepy and wrong-- and she also seems like a succubus. While her presence as a muse does stimulate Jake to write great things, she's also killing him! How can she be stopped and will it be too late?!
This is a rather tender and sad episode. While the one involving Jake left me rather indifferent, seeing Odo professing his love for Lwaxana was very, very touching and is among the finest moments in the show. So, despite two okay plots, there are some wonderful moments in this one which make it underrated and well worth seeing.
