Q-Less

DS9 Season 1 Episode 6
Air Date: February 7th, 2019

The first and only DS9 episode with Q. Lt. Dax and returns from the gamma quadrant where she found a human, a woman named Vash. Last we saw Vash she was gallivanting the universe with Q but eventually everyone gets angry at Q. As an Indiana Jones type archaeologist, Vash brings back artifacts from the gamma quadrant and teams up with Quark to sell them at auction.

Q does show up though as he wants to get Vash to join him again, but the crew of DS9 think he is responsible for the power drain they are experiencing. Q always finds it amusing when humans blame him for things he is not responsible for. In this case, one the artifacts Vash brought back was causing the power drain.
