Stardate not given: While Sisko is preparing a party at the occasion of the Bajoran Gratitude Festival, Lwaxana Troi arrives at the station, hoping for a love affair with Odo. But the constable ignores her advances. Surprisingly several crew members and guests begin to develop new romantic interests, as Jake adores Kira, Kira is smitten with Bashir, Vedek Bareil goes after Dax, Dax pesters Sisko and Quarks falls in love with Keiko O'Brien, who shows a romantic interest in Bareil. It turns out that Lwaxana's Zanthi fever is responsible for the whole mess. In this condition Betazoids inadvertently project their amorous feelings to people in their vicinity - interestingly feelings that must already exist latently. Only for Keiko and Miles O'Brien the whole hassle has a positive lasting effect, for the two rediscover their love after being tired of their marriage.
