Summary
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Extreme Measures," the key to curing Odo is in Sloan's head, but Sloan isn't talking - mostly because he's dying. O'Brien and Bashir will have to get inside Section 31's head, literally, to save their friend and the Alpha Quadrant.
Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao
