| Chief O'Brien departs to New Sydney in search
of Bibly's widow, who he lost contact with. Bibly was a member of
the Orion Syndicate who O'Brien befriended when he was undercover in the
episode "Honor Among Thieves". O'Brien was forced to betray his friend,
who died as a consequence. When searching for Bibly's widow, O'Brien
disappeared and Captain Sisko sent Lt. Ezri Dax to New Sydney because her
family owned a very large mining operation in that system. He hoped
that she would be able to find O'Brien and when she did, O'Brien informed
her that Bibly's widow was dead, killed by the Orion Syndicate. But
there was no proof to support that accusation. Later, O'Brien discovered
that Ezri's brother hired the Orion Syndicate to help their mining operation
during bad times, and in return he was suppose to give Bibly's widow a
regular salary. But she continually wanted a higher salary and eventually
she was killed by Ezri's other brother.
This episode was not what I expected, it was a follow-up to the episode "Honor Among Thieves", but I enjoyed "Honor Among Thieves" a lot more. I was expecting this episode to deal more with O'Brien and the Syndicate and not Ezri and her family. It was a well written episode, and one the better low budget episodes. Overall, it could have been a lot better and a lot more exciting, and if this had been another time (and not the last season of Deep Space Nine) this episode would have been very welcome. This episode did have a lot of Ezri character development, and detailed look at the life of her family. Reviewed by: Andrew Luby
