The Sisko boys spend some quality time together.
This is exactly the type of episode required after the drama of the previous story.
It has a nice, reflective tone as Ben and Jake go on a mini-adventure together and have some good father-son interaction. The plot is good-natured and mostly focussed on their relationship.
The subplot involving Dr Bashir is also quite fun. I particularly like the drinking scene with Chief O'Brien and the exchanges with his med school rival.
All characters contribute in a lighthearted way and we are introduced to the character Leeta, who appears in many future episodes.
For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
