The Tendi thing gives them options. They can do something with that next season, or just revert to the norm if they’d rather have her back with the main cast.

Six seasons and a movie 🙏

I always assume Nog is dead because Ira Steven Behr said he would kill him off on the first episode if DS9 got an eighth season

One of my big complaints in the earlier seasons was that the show wasn’t very funny for a comedy, but it’s actually getting better. The whole Ferengi tv thing was great.

The resolution to the Rutherford and Tendi subplot was interesting to me in that it made explicit the way that their easy familiarity with each other as best friends and coworkers is predicated on a blithe, willful obliviousness to any other romantic feelings between them. I’m curious to see how that plays out in future episodes.
