Keiko returns from Bajor with her body possessed by a non-corporeal alien.
This is a solid 'O'Brien must suffer' episode.
The premise is simple and effective. There is no real suspense, because you know everything will get resolved and the central characters will be okay. However it is fun to see it unfold and interesting to see how the Chief gets himself out of the predicament.
A big positive is seeing Rosalind Chao play a different character and she a great job acting malevolent. It gives all her scenes with Colm Meaney a very different edge. His birthday party is very well portrayed.
It is a good episode for Rom, who gets to make a strong contribution to the story. You do have to suspend the disbelief during certain contrivances associated with this character, but his scenes do entertain.
Meaney, Chao, and Max Grodénchik are all superb.
For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
