Lwaxana Troi's final on-screen appearance. The stuff with Odo and Lwaxana is quite charming, helped no end by both actors drawing upon their character's histories and delivering something very heartfelt. I particularly enjoyed the hide-and-seek game they were playing in Odo's quarters. It's also nice that Lwaxana is fairly low-key here. A missed opportunity for some good comedy with Mr. Woof, though.
The Jake-and-the-alien-muse story is more problematic. When I watched DS9 as a teenager I identified a lot with Jake and his desire to be a writer, and I still really like that side of his character. This doesn't work too well, though, despite Meg Foster's delightfully creepy performance as Onaya. It's just not that compelling or executed with any real weight. I really want to know a bit more about the story Jake writes, too (Anslem, the same story from the episode 'The Visitor').
