chacushaThis week we're discussing... episode 1x12 "Vortex"!
Episode synopsis: Odo is stuck guarding a prisoner named Croden, a murderer and wanted criminal from the Gamma Quadrant who potentially possesses a clue to Odo's origins -- information about a colony of "changeling" shapeshifters like Odo -- which he's willing to divulge in exchange for his freedom.
What The Boys are up to in this episode: Omg, so much... This is an Odo-centric episode where the focus is on Odo's interactions with Croden, but Quark plays a major role in it. In the opening, he and Odo discuss the Miradorn and other disreputable characters currently on the station and whether Quark has been in contact with them. Quark orchestrates an armed robbery, which Odo interrupts, ending with one Miradorn dead and Croden in jail. When Croden claims to know a colony of changelings, Odo presses Quark for information that could corroborate this knowledge, but Quark doesn't have any. Odo ends up escorting Croden to be tried on his home planet, but is pursued by the second Miradorn who has threatened Quark in order to find out Odo and Croden's location. After wading through Croden's many lies, Odo finally discovers his truth: he lives to be reunited with his daughter. Having worked together to successfully escape the Miradorn, Odo decides to sneak Croden and his daughter on a Vulcan ship to give them a shot at a new life rather than turn Croden over to his government.
