Harry Kim visits a planet where he is the favored son.
Harry Kim discovers that he has a special connection to a planet whose people welcome him as one of their own, and he starts to feel at home there. As he gets to know the people, he begins to wonder whether he has found his real family.
The episode is a mystery built around Kim's feelings of loneliness and his desire to belong, and it uses an unusual setting to question what home really means. It is also one of the few stories to put Kim at the center of the plot for the entire episode.
