Trivia
Lt. Cmdr. Worf does not appear in this episode as he was serving with the Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Insurrection (1998).

Goofs
Norvo says that Ezri's new haircut "brings out her eyes." He fails to make note that her eye color has changed. It is established in "The Emperor's New Cloak" that Ezri had darker colored eyes before being joined and the bright blue eyes she is seen with throughout the series are the result of a physical alteration that occurred when she bonded to the Dax symbiont.

Quotes
Norvo: To my sister - a shining angel in a dark sky.

Out of Their Wheelhouse

TV shows have a rule, and that rule is to consistently deliver on their premise. It might sound a little restrictive, but this episode shows why you don't break it. A bad dysfunctional family drama, with fake psychological problems our hero does a bad job solving, then meets a murder mystery that isn't interesting.

Star Trek is about adventures in space. Maybe you get stuck on a desert planet and have to figure out a problem, but that's the overall premise. You leave that, and you get this, and this was poor.
