Bashir shows off his new holosuite
program, a 1960s Vegas singer named Vic Fontaine who performs in
a lounge full of martini-swilling customers. While Vic is only a
hologram, he is extremely perceptive and immediately senses
Odo's unrequited love for Kira. Soon afterward, Kira leaves for
Bajor to visit her ex-lover Shakaar — a move which clearly
upsets Odo. He "borrows" Bashir's program and asks Vic for a
little romantic advice.
After turning Odo into a tuxedo-clad piano player, Vic invites a
pair of beautiful holo-showgirls into the picture. They cozy up
to Odo, but he has trouble mustering up feelings for anyone but
Kira. Vic reminds him that the best way to feel comfortable with
Kira is to practice with these other women. After a week of Odo
visiting the Holosuite, Vic introduces his pupil to Lola, a sexy
holographic chanteuse who looks exactly like Kira.
At first, Odo manages to flirt quite successfully with Lola, but
as he is about to kiss her, he breaks away. Odo tells Vic that
he is unable to forget that Lola is just a hologram because she
doesn't act like Kira. A few days later, Kira returns to the
station, and Odo can barely speak to her. Deciding to play
matchmaker, Vic interrupts Kira's visit to a holosuite and tells
her he's aware about Odo's feelings. Then, he insists she return
that night for a special dinner with Odo.
 Vic tricks Odo into attending the dinner by telling him he has
perfected a Kira hologram. The evening is beautiful — Kira and
Odo are dressed to the nines, and Vic serves them an elegant
meal. They chat about the irony of spending their "first date"
in a holosuite and even dance while Vic croons a period
standard. However, as Kira talks about leaving the holosuite,
Odo reveals that he thinks she is actually a hologram. When Vic
sheepishly informs Odo that he has been dancing with the real
Kira, Odo is embarrassed and abruptly leaves.
Believing he has blown his last chance with the woman he loves,
Odo is surprised when Kira approaches him on the Promenade and
insists that he meet her for dinner that night. The two argue
heatedly, their passions exploding when Odo finally grabs Kira
and kisses her in full view of everyone. A few days later, Odo
visits Vic in the holosuite to deliver thanks for bringing him
and Kira, now a couple, together. |
