In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The Abandoned," you play your money, you take your chances! Quark buys a ship - sight unseen. The deal comes up snake eyes, or really - Jem'Hadar. He didn't just buy a ship. He accidentally bought a Jem'Hadar baby. Odo will play his hand. Feeling some Founder responsibility, he tries to raise the Jem'Hadar kid as his own. Or at least NOT as a soulless killer. Meanwhile, Jake's playing the love game with the dabo girl Mardah, though Sisko thinks he's got an ace up his sleeve to wreck Jake's game.

Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
