returns through the portal but encounters her younger self, only a short time after she had fallen through. The older Molly points her younger self back through the portal; as soon as the younger Molly passes through, the older Molly disappears. Molly reappears moments before Miles is about to destroy the portal, and the family happily reunites. In a side plot, Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) offers to look after Molly's one-year-old brother Yoshi; her husband Worf (Michael Dorn) volunteers to care for the child, hoping to prove his parenting skills to Dax. When Yoshi bumps his head, Worf condemns himself as an unfit parent, but he is mollified when Dax tells him that the O'Briens said that Yoshi has bumped his head many times before and later tells him that Yoshi has happily learned one of the Klingon games Worf taught him. Production The outdoor shots of the exoplanet the O'Brien's visit, later recreated in the holosuite, were filmed at Malibu Creek State Park in California. The nature park is in the Santa Monica Mountains of that region, on the west coast of the continental United States. According to the Deep Space Nine Companion the rocks for the "stonehenge" were fiberglass props. The melon from Golana that the O'Briens feed Molly was an actual fruit, the kiwano (Cucumis metuliferus) which has a yellowish exterior and green interior. Special effects are used for a Danube-class Runabout above Golana. Reception Keith DeCandido of Tor.com rated the episode 4 out of 10.
