Quark and Rom are in a panic when the Ferengi liquidator posts a writ of accountability on the bar's walls. It's only after a couple of bribes that Quark finds out what they're charged with. They're held accountable for criminal activities of their mother, Ishka. Apparently she's been wearing clothes and earning profits, both strictly forbidden for Ferengi women. Quark is required by law to convince her to sign a confession and reveal her accomplices. Failure will result in her being placed into servitude and Quark will have to make restitution for her crimes, a prospect he doesn't fancy. Meanwhile, Jake tells his father the freighter captain Kasidy Yates is back on the station. He really wants them both to meet and wants to arrange dinner. Sisko wants to take it easy and do things his own way. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
"Family Business" is a filler episode where nothing particularly important happens. Fortunately, it is pretty funny--at least the portion of the show about the Ferengi home world.
When the show begins, Quark has been summoned to the home world to face charges against his mother. Apparently, this abomination of a mother has dared to wear clothing as well as make profit--things that ONLY Ferengi were are allowed to do. Quark is beside himself with frustration because she won't recant of her evil ways--and it's even worse when he learns she's actually earned FAR more than the Ferengi government realizes!
The other plot is much less important--at least in this episode. It seems that Jake Sisko is trying to set up his father with a captain named Kasidy. Naturally his father isn't happy about this...until he meets her.
Overall, a slight episode but one that is pretty funny when it comes to the Ferengi. Worth seeing and a bit silly.
