So we the audience are treated to endless elevator music in a holosuite program in which Odo accesses without Dr. Bashir's knowledge (it was Julian's program to start).
Major Kira is visiting Bajor for a few days to meet up with her old flame Shakar. Odo's going out of his mind with disappointment. Quark sneaks the program to Odo in hopes the charming lounge singer Vic Fontaine will give some advice to Odo on how to win over the love of his life.
Wouldn't a better premise have been a disaster involving the Dominion war, a severe malfunction of the station's life supports, or another trauma involving Odo's bio-functions to bring them together? Maybe the threat of loss to bring them closer instead of a night club fantasy featuring a 20th century lounge singer?
But I suppose the passionate kiss at the end made up for the previous 45 minutes that could have been better spent.
