Splendid and brilliant and it ends on a positive note! The way you expanded this episode was amazing. I love what I learned about Leeta here. She has never been written with such care and such insight.

Garak surprised me with his honesty and by his scene with Julian when they made up, which was adorable, btw. His protectiveness to Leeta and working with Julian to keep her safe was delightful.

Your detail about what was happening to everyone on the station because of the caste system gave me a new awareness of this episode. You've done it again, my dear. You are so talented, it's quite scary.

Enjoy your vacation, relax, and have fun!
