This week we're discussing... episode 2x08 "Necessary Evil"! (This is the last episode we're discussing before going on our first mid-season break, by the way!)
Episode synopsis: A woman pays Quark to bring her a box hidden in a shop on DS9; Quark is shot and put into a coma after peeking at its contents, which have now gone missing. Odo flashes back to the first case he was ever asked to solve on Terok Nor, which he was never able to close: the murder of the woman's husband, a Bajoran chemist on Terok Nor. In both cases, Kira's involvement forces Odo to choose between truth and justice.
What The Boys are up to in this episode: Odo is the main/POV character of this episode, but the events are instigated by/centered around Quark. Quark meets with Pallra, breaks into a room with Rom, and then is shot and spends the rest of the episode unconscious in the infirmary. In the past, Quark is interrogated by Odo regarding Kira's alibi. Over the whole episode, Odo is solving two cases: one in the past involving murder and sabotage and talking to Dukat, Pallra, Kira, and Quark, and one in the present involving blackmail and attempted murder and talking to Rom, Pallra, Kira, and Sisko.
