The week-long national syndication window opens for the 142nd episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This episode introduces the character of holodeck nightclub singer Vic Fontaine, played by actor/director/singer James Darren (who, ironically, co-starred with William Shatner in the cop show T.J. Hooker). 
Stardate not given: Bashir introduces the other officers to his new holoprogram featuring Vic Fontaine, a Las Vegas lounge singer of the 1960s who impresses everyone with his perceptiveness concerning their love lives. When Kira leaves to see Shakaar on Bajor, Odo, despairing of ever having his feelings for her returned, begins using Bashir’s holoprogram to consult Vic, who gives him tips on how to win a woman’s heart. But can the Constable learn how to change more than his shape?
