Star Trek DS9 Episode 114 - Doctor Bashir, I Presume?

"Julian Bashir is selected to become the model for a Long-term Medical Hologram, until a family secret is revealed."


The Doctor from Voyager shows up and want to use Bashir as a Medical Hologram template. Then Bashir's parents show up. There is much tension between Bashir and his father. It seems that as a child Julian was a moron, until his dad illegally genetically altered him. This info gets out and Julian figures he must resign because he is essentially a criminal. In the end his father offers himself up to Starfleet and will go to prison instead of Julien. Or something like that.

The side plot is thus: Dr. Zimmerman starts hitting on Leeta and they go out a few times. Rom is of course going out of his mind, but he is also an idiot and can't just tell Leeta how he feels. It takes all episode but he finally lets her know and she leaves Zimmerman for Rom. ....I still don't get it.

114 down and 62 to go
