YATI :

Why on Earth did they make Quark a woman in this episode? I mean, okay, he needed somebody to pretend to be a Ferengi female. Why not Leeta? Why not Dax? Why not pay a Dabo girl to do it? Because the writers wanted Quark in drag, that's why.

Worst Moment :

I have this intense hatred of seeing men in women's clothing. I know it's irrational, but I'm stuck with it. Guess what I thought the worst part of this episode was?

Plotline

With Grand Nagus Zek deposed for allowing women to wear clothes and make a profit, the Ferengi alliance is thrown into chaos. Zek arranges a meeting with one of the richest Ferengi alive to convince him of the wisdon of his ideas, but when Moogi collapses it falls to a certain Ferengi to take her place.
