Star Trek DS9 Episode 117 - Ties of Blood and Water

"Tekeny Ghemor arrives on Deep Space Nine and reveals that he is dying."

Remember the episode in which Kira was supposed to be a genetically modified Cardassian spy? And, this guy Ghmemor thought that she was his Cardassian daughter? This is that guy. So he is dying and he wishes to confess all of his secrets to his only "family member" left, Kira. Dukat tries to prevent him from divulging Cardassian secrets to a Bajoran but to no avail. Kira accepts Ghemor as family and buries his body next to her real father. I actually liked this dynamic between "enemies" that become "family".

This episode was later remade as that film Nothing in Common starring Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleeson.

Fun Fact, Jackie Gleason was basically dying while making that movie.

That's not a fun fact. That's awful.
