Star Trek DS9 Episode 161 - Prodigal Daughter

"Ezri goes to New Sydney to find O'Brien and uncovers some disturbing family secrets. Miles goes in search of the widow of Liam Bilby, Morica Bilby, whom he befriended in an undercover operation."

O'Brien goes awol to find the wife of some guy that died while he was undercover for the Orion Syndicate. Why would O'Brien even do this? Yet another plot that doesn't make sense, but who really cares anymore. He ends up on the same planet that Ezri is from. (may I add she is still cute as ever). Sisko sends Ezri to find Miles.

On the planet (which for some reason is named New Sydney ... also it seems like a dump), Ezri meets up with her family which seem to be some kind of bigwig mining family. Meanwhile, O'Brien discovers that Morica Bilby has been murdered and he suspects the Syndicate.

Plots collide when it is revealed that Ezri's family had to pay a ransom of sorts to Morica by order of the Syndicate. Tired of being beholden to this, Ezri's brother killed Morica Bilby.

This episode has a bunch of guest stars including; some guy that was on Knots Landing, Ted from Mad Men, Leigh Young who played Rachel Harris on Picket Fences and maybe the greatest Star Trek cameo ever .... Jambi from Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

161 down and 15 to go
