Quodo in Every Episode discussion: "Inquisition"

This week we're discussing... episode 6x18 "Inquisition"!

Episode synopsis: Bashir is investigated by Starfleet's Internal Affairs department for possibly being an unwitting spy for the Dominion following his imprisonment at Internment Camp 371, in this wartime episode that introduces Luther Sloan and Section 31 to the show.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a very Bashir-centric episode, so not much: Odo has several scenes -- in the opening scene, he's talking to Dr. Bashir when O'Brien shows up with an injured shoulder; he's present in Ops with the other senior officers when they get confined to quarters and spends most of the episode that way; is said to have looked into Sloan (off-screen); and then appears in the final debriefing scene with Bashir, Sisko, and Kira, where he and Kira discuss the results of their investigation into Bashir's disappearance, and Odo offers his somewhat cynical view of how secret agencies like Section 31 are set up and run. As for Quark, I think he only has one line in this episode: as Bashir is being led to the holding cells, he and Kira voice their support for his innocence. (I suppose technically, of the above scenes, only Odo's first and last appearances actually happened.)

One screencap from this episode:
