Plot

The O'Briens go on a picnic to Golana IV, where Molly accidentally falls into an abandoned time portal and emerges as an 18-year-old (played by Michelle Krusiec). From her point of view, she has experienced approximately ten years of solitary existence. Back at Deep Space Nine, she is wild and uncontrollable, unable to cope with life on the space station; after a violent altercation in Quark's, Starfleet officials intend to place her in a mental health institution. The O'Briens return to Golana IV, hoping to send Molly back through the time portal to the place and time she had become accustomed to, preferring her happiness over a possible lifetime of confinement. However, she is returned to the point where she had first entered, allowing the adult Molly to help her child counterpart return home, erasing the adult Molly in the process.

This episode features the Irish Miles O'Brien using the expletive bollocks at one point. This was edited out of daytime showings in the United Kingdom.

In-Joke: One of the pieces of equipment Chief O'Brien brings to the effort to recover his daughter from the time vortex (visible in the background) is a hexagonal console with outward-facing control panels — this was evidently intended to be the Starfleet analog of the TARDIS control console.
