Gaila

Story: Business as Usual
Written By: Bradley Thompson and David Weddle
Series: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Year: 1997

Quark is still ruined by his actions in “Body Parts”, and his cousin Gaila comes to the station to offer him a job in his weapons dealing business. But Quark doesn’t have the stomach for selling weapons of mass destruction to mad men. He also is a bit uneasy dealing with Gaila’s associate, who is a bit on the touchy side. It is a solid episode, one of the good more dramatic episodes for Quark, who often gets the more comic relief episodes, but this is a good one.
The B-plot involves the Chief having to hold his new baby, who cries every time he sets him down. It is a fun little b-story for sure, but rather forgettable in the grand scheme of things.
