"Prophet Motive" (season three, episode sixteen; 20 February 1995): Wikipedia-link.
Commentary: "Prophet Motive" is a lark, another frolic with the Ferengi, & we are treated to the juxtaposition of the Ferengi & the Prophets. Quark & Rom's relationship takes on additional depth, especially in light of Nog's recent announcement of his Starfleet aspirations in "Heart of Stone."
"Prophet Motive" is a better pun than the similarly titled Voyager episode, "False Profits," which also involves the Ferengi but is much less fun. "False Profits" is a sequel to a The Next Generation episode, "The Price." "The Price" involves a supposedly stable wormhole, the Barzan Wormhole, which turns out not to be be stable, leaving the Bajoran Wormwole (the Celestial Temple of the Prophets) as the only known stable wormhole.
