Ds9 episodes focusing on side characters are either "and now we will take a break from the horrors of war to have a funky good time" (Ferengi episodes) or "and now we will explore the depths of this lizard man's unresolved trauma" (Garak episodes)
Why can't Garak ever have a funky good time? Why can't we get an episode where he just has a nice day
Well, he did get hired to murder Quark.
