In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The House of Quark," with the Dominion threat just a wormhole away, Quark's business is dying. Nothing like a dead Klingon to liven it up, though how he died could get Quark killed. Meanwhile, Keiko has closed the school, due to a lack of students who aren't Jake and Nog. What should she do next?
