I liked the performance of 18 year old Molly.
Rehabilitation does seem the better solution then to abandon Molly on her 'home' planet but hey ---- Parents do some crazy things for kids and as luck would have it this turned out to be the correct decision because they got toddler Molly back.
You could have gone in many different directions with this story. I think it would have been interesting if they kept adult Molly aboard DS9 and developed her character from this point on.
The Worf B-Plot successfully filled in time but also managed to tie-in to the parenting theme ---- so, that's something? I think this B-Plot may have been a meta message about the fanbase calling out Worf's inconsistent parenting history with Alexander.
It was nice to see Chester the cat.
Good idea for an episode but I felt it could have been explored and enhanced from what we got here.
