## Resource

Direct from Andy's parents' apartment, here's your delayed ep of DS9 TNC! Bashir and Dax visit a planet of diseased folks - can Bashir save them? Or will he get too mired in his teddy bear story? We canceled our deaths for you, crew! We were really looking forward to it. [Episode discussion begins around 1:07]
