Nog discovers that the lock on the safe is of a different type than expected. While he struggles to crack the lock, Zeemo arrives a day early to pick up his cash. Vic and the others fabricate enough distractions to stall him until Nog can open the safe and he and Odo slip away with the cash. After Zeemo finds the safe empty, his thugs lead Frankie and Cicci out of the casino—and Vic's lounge is restored to the way it was originally. Vic takes the stage with his band, and Sisko joins him in a duet of "The Best Is Yet to Come". Cast note Actor Robert O'Reilly, who played the recurring role of the Klingon chancellor Gowron on the series, appears in a different role in this episode as one of the holographic human casino accountants. He is credited as “Bobby Reilly” instead of "Robert O'Reilly" for this role.
