He’s not the biological father. He’s the father who stepped up. I would describe the ending of that episode as a beautiful and unique story about caring for someone because you’ve been in their shoes, trying to carve a path for someone and discovering it’s easier said than done, and dealing with the fact that no amount of love can overcome some tragedies, but you can learn to live with the aftermath with love. I would also probably do this through tears.
Aaand back to sad again.
I love this episode, but DS9 did it better.
Such a proud father for too brief a time.
And like all fathers their children will live inside them, even if they’re not around any longer.
Um… if Odo is the father, how would you describe what happens at the end of the episode?

Yeah, you’re right. They’re more like clones, or siblings.
