Notes
- The actual title of the episode is grammatically incorrect as they fail to use the Oxford comma in the title. I corrected that for my page.
- The morphogenic virus that we first saw in the fourth season episode “Homefront” pops up again as the female changeling character appears to be infected with it.
- This is the beginning of the redemption arc for Damar who seemed like a drunk officer who didn’t like what was happening.
- The third episode where Nog gets all Ferengi by trading for things for a goal. The other two (both with Jake) were “Progress” and “In the Cards“.
- Rule of Acquisition Mentioned: #168 – “Whisper your way to success”.
- Weyoun 6 has a prediction about what Odo’s end goal is, which ends up basically being what happens to him in the series finale.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 156 - Treachery, Faith & The Great River - 2 Nov 1998 2/2 also get a wider exploration of religious issues as they pertain to the Vorta & Ferengi. Overall a well constructed ep, the A & B plots don't seem all that separate of each other. Enjoyed this!
