Quodo in Every Episode discussion: "Behind the Lines"

[chacusha]

This week we're discussing... episode 6x04 "Behind the Lines"!

Episode synopsis: The fourth episode in the six-part Dominion occupation arc that opens season 6: On the station, Kira and Rom carry out resistance activities, but urgent problems arise when the Female Founder comes aboard the station and links with Odo, and Damar discovers a way to deactivate the minefield. Rom is arrested trying to sabotage the deflector array to prevent the minefield from being brought down. Meanwhile, in Federation space, Sisko is promoted to a strategic position under Admiral Ross and waits anxiously as Dax captains the Defiant for the first time for a dangerous mission.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: At the beginning of this episode, Quark is in the bar and tries to intervene in a fight between Damar and some Jem'Hadar. Odo heavily features in this episode, responding to the fight, arguing with Kira over station resistance activities and other things, reuniting with the Female Founder and talking and linking with her, and sitting in on both council meetings with Dukat and Weyoun and resistance meetings with Kira, Jake, and Rom. After plying Damar with alcohol, Quark discovers Damar is close to bringing down the wormhole minefield and takes this information to Kira's resistance cell. The episode ends with Odo, having linked with the Founder, indifferent to the fact that Rom was caught due to Odo's actions (or lack thereof).

Quo-do the Thing! -- Amnesty posting period (Aug 25-31)

[chacusha]

Hi everyone! We are now in our amnesty posting period for the Quodo WIP event. If you worked on something for this event that you haven't posted yet, feel free to post it from now until the end of August, even if it's not finished -- we want to celebrate your progress with you! Some posting information here if it’s helpful.

I'll be posting a final round-up/masterlist later, after all the works currently in the process of being published have finished posting. If you intend to post something but need to post after the end of August, let me know so I'm aware of the situation. Otherwise, thanks for joining us on this journey, and congrats! 💛
