Quodo in Every Episode discussion: "Civil Defense"

[chacusha]

Hi everyone! We've now been doing this Quodo in Every Episode project for roughly half a year(!), so to celebrate, I made us a new banner:



Anyway, this week we're discussing... episode 3x07 "Civil Defense"!

Episode synopsis: While cleaning up old Cardassian computer files, Jake and Miles accidentally trigger a security program designed to respond to a potential Bajoran revolt in the ore processing center. Various DS9 officers are trapped in different parts of the station and have to work together to stop the station from self-destructing.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: Quark and Odo have the C plot of this episode where they are trapped in Odo's office together. This plotline consists of various scenes: (1) Quark decides to stick close to Odo for safety, (2) they realize they are trapped inside Odo's office, (3) Quark fears dying when he hasn't made anything of himself, and Odo offers reassurance, (4) despite forcefields coming down on other parts of the station, Odo's office is on a separate system indicating he was not fully trusted by the Cardassian administration and he and Quark are STILL trapped, and (5) the episode ends with Odo and Quark walking congenially out of the security office as the station returns to normal, with Odo teasing Quark by listing Ferengi who are more devious than he is.
