Broken Link

When Odo contracts a mysterious illness, the Defiant crew bring him to the Gamma Quadrant to find the Founders. There, Odo learns that this illness was the Founders' way of forcing him home to the Great Link to stand trial for killing another Changeling.

Another awesome Star Trek episode.

Sisko gets a crew and takes Odo in search of the founders. They come and board the ship.. the female founder takes the Defiant to the Founder planet... Where Odo is judged, found guilty.. healed of the disease he has.. and turned into a solid. He is no longer a changeling!

This is his punishment for being the very first and only changeling to kill another.

Now, back at DS - 9, he must confront eating and other human issues.

This is episode 98.. and, it is the final episode of season 4.

Season 5 starts next week!

And it is a terrific season...
