This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 98: Broken Link [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In the season 4 finale we see Odo lured into the Gamma Quadrant in an attempt to find a cure for the disease that has infected him, he cannot hold a solid shape. Once he enters Dominion space and transmits an urgent message to the Founders in the hope that they will know of a cure - the Defiant is quickly surrounded by Jem'hadar.
Odo beams down to the surface of the new homeworld of the Founders, with Sisko and Bashir, the Female Changeling leads Odo into the Great Link (which seems to have expanded hugely since the last time we saw it in The Search). Time passes, possibly days, and Odo finally emerges. He is weak, but solid, apparently cured. It is at this point that we learn that Odo IS solid, a punishment for killing another Changeling (season three finale). Once Odo returns to the station he sees an image of Gowron, the leader of the Klingon Empire, he realises he is a Changeling!
A fairly good stand-alone episode that sets up season five with a lot of possibilities, unfortunately the next season doesn't quite flow as smoothly as the last two. All in all a good solid, no pun intended, script but not a very exciting season finale!
