One of my favourite episodes of the entire series. Even the kind of cheesy b-story doesn't take away from how involved I always get in this gorgeous piece of storytelling. It's a wonderful examination of Odo's past and the reason he has the personality he does. He gets to work out the issues he's always had with the man who raised him and experiences a new kind of love and affection for a helpless being.
The arguments between him and Dr. Mora are really wonderfully written. And Quark gets nothing but fantastic moments, too. In regards to the return of Odo's shape shifting abilities, I think it was probably a done a bit too early but that doesn't detract from what a wonderful sequence it is. I don't feel like Odo really had the time to learn much from being a solid.
Kira finally gives birth, and it's played for laughs. I'm okay with that, I love that this show focuses on characters. The Kira/Miles/Keiko triangle has been a lot of fun to watch, and it comes to a bittersweet end. It's just a bit of a missed opportunity that Worf wasn't involved in the birth somehow.
