The Grand Nagus (Wallace Shawn) is on the station for a visit and he appears to have lost his mind. He has rewritten the Rules of Acquisition: greed is out, generosity is in. Meanwhile, Doctor Bashir has been nominated for a prestigious medical award.
DS9 can get pretty heavy. An occasional, frivolous Ferengi romp provides essential comic relief and Shawn Wallace is always good value. That said, it would be a stretch to call this a good episode. The Quark and Rom development is minimal, though Rom's gradual rising in his brother's estimation is nice to see. The Bashir B-plot is mostly forgettable though somewhat notable for his first game of darts with Miles, an important feature of their friendship moving forward.
