"While on a routine mission, Quark and his crew are captured by Zorgon the Malevolent , the Most Vicious Gorgon Space Pirate and Half-Brother to the High Gorgon Himself. Zorgon tries to learn from Quark where to find \"It\"\u2014which represents a problem as Quark has no idea what \"It\" is. Meanwhile, Zorgon's daughter, Princess Libido , has fallen in love with Ficus. Ficus agrees to a meeting with Princess Libido in hopes of letting her down gently because, as he explains to her, \"Where I come from, we don't kiss. We pollinate.\" This line of reasoning fails to dissuade her. The next scene finds both of them lying on the floor on their backs, sticking their arms and legs up in the air, and saying \"bee bee bee bee\" over and over again, increasing in rapidity and pitch in anticipation of the arrival of the bee. Andy and Gene/Jean escape and disguise themselves as Gorgon scientists and Gene/Jean is asked to give a lecture on \"It\". The episode cliffhanger has Quark horrified to realize that the location for \"It\" that he gave as a bluff has turned out to be absolutely correct.\nThis episode borrows from & parodies Flash Gordon with sendups of Ming the Merciless, his daughter Princess Aura, Prince Barin and Prince Vultan."@en .
