HIS WAY:
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.
