Star Trek: Deep Space Nine revealed that Q (John de Lancie) broke his promise to Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The cosmic trickster made one appearance in DS9, in season 1's “Q-Less” which was a sequel to TNG's “Qpid”. In that episode, Q attempted to play matchmaker between Picard and roguish archaeologist Vash (Jennifer Hetrick) but ended up falling for her himself. Q found Vash's deceitful nature utterly fascinating, and offered her the chance to travel the universe with him, an offer that Vash keenly accepted, despite Jean-Luc's warnings.
