Our old friends Vash and Q show up after archaeological adventures in the Gamma Quadrant.  Vash schemes with Quark to sell off her plunder while Q taunts Sisko.  Meanwhile, the station is falling apart.  The crew blame Q, though the omnipotent one denies all responsibility.

Not my favorite so far.  I don't exactly like either Vash or Q.  However, "Q-Less" is a good Quark episode as he and Vash play off one another brilliantly.  Furthermore, even harsh critics agree that the story's undeniably satisfying highlight is Sisko decking Q in a bare-knuckle boxing match.  

Seriously, why couldn't they have found a less cumbersome term for the standard currency than gold-pressed latinum?
