DS9: The Forsaken

Once upon a time, Lwaxana Troi got stuck in a turbolift with Odo and TV magic was made. "The Forsaken" revolves around a computer malfunction, some whiny ambassadors, and a blossoming friendship between two unlikely people. While the other stuff is fine, it's the Lwaxana/Odo relationship that I love about this episode. Both characters are (in their own way) rather abrasive. Lwaxana is brash and overly chatty while Odo is stoic and standoffish but they both have a hard time making any real friends. This episode slaps them together like peanut butter and jelly and what we get is a series of sweet, perfect scenes and eventually a revelation from both characters. I love this one so much I just had to sit down and draw something:
