"Chrysalis" is the 155th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the fifth episode of the seventh season. The episode was written by Rene Echeverria and directed by Jonathan West.[1]
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the space station Deep Space Nine. This episode revisits the four genetically-enhanced characters introduced in the Season 6 episode “Statistical Probabilities”, whose genetic modifications have given them enhanced intelligence but behavioral abnormalities that make it difficult for them to function in society: aggressive, hyperactive Jack; catatonic Sarina; hypersexual Lauren; and childlike Patrick. In this episode, Deep Space Nine's chief medical officer Julian Bashir, who was himself genetically enhanced without adverse side effects, cures Sarina of her catatonia and begins to fall in love with her.
The episode was first aired the week of October 26, 1998, and received Nielsen ratings of 4.3 points.[2]
