Stardate 50929.4: The crew of Deep Space Nine has been growing increasingly wary of the Dominion-Cardassian threat. Jake senses that his dad is having trouble coping himself and sets upon obtaining an old baseball relic for Benjamin. Elsewhere, Kai Winn visits DS9 to meet with a Dominion liasion.
Desperate to avoid a meeting with a family therapist, Daria substitutes for Quinn on a babysitting gig. The family she ends up sitting for are the sickeningly-sweet Lester and Lauren Gupty, who have raised their kids Tad and Tricia into brainwashed little angels that only watch The Weather Channel on television, and avoid any sugar and junk food. It will take an artist extrordinare(yes, Jane) to rescue Daria from this nauseous night, and the Gupty kids from the sheltered lifestyle they've become so accustomed to.
