Quodo in Every Episode discussion: "Profit and Lace"

This week we're discussing... episode 6x23 "Profit and Lace"!

Episode synopsis: After implementing controversial feminist reforms on Ferenginar, Zek is deposed, and the only way to prevent Brunt from becoming the next Grand Nagus is to successfully convince a prominent FCA commissioner that Ferengi women are good for, and good at, business. When a heart attack makes Ishka unable to do this herself, Quark is forced to complete the job by pretending to be a Ferengi female named Lumba.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a Quark-centric episode. Odo's one scene at the end is with Quark, where he cheers up Quark (who is in the process of stabilizing after his second sex change operation) by giving him a hug.

One screencap from this episode:
