Captain Lisa Beck's plans to take Phillip Harper out for a night on Waystation don't go exactly...um...according to plan.
Summary
When Captain Lisa Beck and Phillip Harper are finally able to arrange their schedules to have a nice night out together, Beck plans to show Harper what Waystation has to offer, starting with a romantic dinner at Dillon's. Meanwhile Bradley Dillon learns that his plans to purchase the OmegaMart chain, a rival to his Dillon's Supply Depots has fallen through thanks to the interference of John Simms, Jr., who swooped in and bought the chain. Dillon interrupts Beck and Harper's dinner in his restaurant, attempting to get the AWN news to bury the story of the OmegaMart purchase and an incident at another Dillon's Supply Depot in exchange for a large ad buy on Harper's network. Harper refuses, and Beck decides they should find somewhere else to eat. They move on to Victoria's Pub, where they are spotted by Commander Walter Morales. Morales, who is jealous of Harper's relationship with Beck, keeps interrupting the couple until Beck again decides that they should find somewhere else to eat. The Andorian Restaurant is packed due to a meeting of the station's Society for Creative Anachronisms group.
