still from star trek: deep space nine s3 ep20, “improbable cause.” retaya, a flaxian—an reptilian/amphibian alien with long tendrils on his forehead, chinc and the backs of his hand—sits at a table that has a pyramid-shaped carrying case of perfume bottles on it. odo’s hands hold a bottle of perfume from offscreen. retaya places a hand on his chest innocently as he answers odo’s questioning without implicating himself in the explosion.

oh hey speaking of this episode, just noticed that the script has a deleted scene where odo, garak, and bashir talk to quark about retaya, and odo ends up canceling garak's security detail to get him to be cooperative. (CTRL + F the phrase "11 INT. QUARK'S")
