118. Ferengi Love Songs

Summary

A. With things going from bad to worse for Quark, he retreats to Ferenginar to visit his mother--but is shocked to learn that she has become romantically involved with none other than Grand Nagus Zek. Then Brunt of the FCA offers Quark a deal he can't refuse: he will reinstate Quark's license in exchange for Quark breaking up the lovers. Quark does--only to learn that his actions may have just spelled disaster for Ferengi society. Zek's memory is failing, and without Ishka to advise him and help focus him, Ferengi fortunes plummet. Realizing that this was Brunt's plan all along, to gain power, Quark reunites the lovers.

B. Rom and Leeta are engaged, but their plans hit a snag when Rom decides to have her sign a Waiver of Property and Profit, which Leeta refuses to do. Finally, Rom gives away all his latinum as a sign that he has recanted, and the wedding is back on.
