Notes
- The Cardassian Natima Lang is played by Mary Crosby who I know well from Dallas as Kristin Shepherd. She is also the aunt of Denise Crosby who played of course Tasha Yar on TNG.
- This episode contracts the earlier episode “The Homecoming“. The earlier episode says the Cardassians aren’t holding any more Bajoran prisoners, but this episode states that there is to be a prisoner swap.
- Despite both Natima & Quark expressing great love for each other, the character is never seen again.
- Jake does not appear in this episode.
