Jakes hangs around the Promenade people watching and thinking up ideas for stories. His eyes land on a mysterious woman from far away. Meanwhile. Lwaxana Troi shows up in Odo's office, crying and pregnant! She explains that she's on the run from her husband, a Tavnian, who treats her like his possession and means to take her newborn son away from her.

At the replimat, the mysterious woman notices Jake writing and introducers herself as Onaya, and she's got a thing for artists. She's helped many artists unlock their true potential, including a famous Cardassian architect. With a generous helping of erotic subtext, she offers to help Jake with his writing, and he agrees. Jake cancels on a trip with his father and Kasidy Yates to keep an appointment he makes with Onaya. She gifts him a pen and tells him to start writing in a stream of consciousness. He does, and ideas start pouring out of him. Unbeknownst to him, however, Onaya is draining his life force as he writes.

Lwaxana is bummed and, being a telepath, bumming everyone else out at Quark's bar, so Odo comes in to distract her. She manages to invite herself into his quarters and is amazed by his shapeshifting furniture. Odo provides a shoulder for her to sleep on (turning himself into a pillow and blanket) and later plays hide and seek with her to keep her occupied. But her husband, Jeyal, finally arrives. Odo confronts him, but Jeyal won't be dissuaded from exercising his custody over his son. Odo hatches a plan marry Lwaxana in a Tavnian ceremony to transfer custody of her child to him. But in the process, he'll have to convince Jeyal that his love for Lwaxana is genuine.

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Odo to Lwaxana when she changes plans to go back to Betazed to have her baby instead of having it on the station. It's less about romantic love and more that Odo is very lonely and Lwaxana gives him someone to take care of. Lwaxana recognizes that he's in love with Kira, and gently rebuffs him, saying that she doesn't want to '''make''' him fall for her. She wants him to be happy.
