Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll of the crying and vocalizations for the baby character "Yoshi" was actually the voice of lead dialogue editor Ashley Harvey's 18 month old daughter (also named Ashley), recorded and cut by him for this episode. Asked what he did to get her to scream and cry so loudly and horribly, his answer was: "She crys after her nap to let us know she is ready to get up. I just didn't go get her right away - and she was not amused."
- GoofsIn the Season 5 episode In Purgatory's Shadow (1997), Kira tells Jadzia that Kirayoshi spent seven months in her belly; however, in this episode she tells Odo that she had him inside of her for five months.
- Quotes
Lt. Commander Worf: I am a Klingon warrior, and a Starfleet officer. I've piloted starships through Dominion minefields; I've stood in battle against Kelvans twice my size; I courted and won the heart of the magnificent Jadzia Dax. If I can do these things, I can make this child go to sleep!
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Talk about losing perspective.

"B____cks!"
Molly O'Brien disappears through a time portal.
This is an okay episode that includes decent character moments.
For me the plot unfolds in a mostly contrived way as it includes certain events that feel like they happen because the writers want to have their cake and eat it with painful emotional moments and happy endings. As some reviewers have correctly pointed out, the Federation is supposed to be an advanced, progressive society, which makes the treatment of Molly feel especially forced into the story to create the central dilemma.
I like the interaction between characters in various family situations. The O'Brien family, plus the likes of Worf, Jadzia and Odo are all used very well during interactions with each other. The Worf and Jadzia scenes in particular work well considering what happens in the season finale.
All actors are on good form, particularly Colm Meaney, who always impresses when the writers make his character suffer.
