That's the plot, and the correct episode name.
Riker's suspicions that something is up reveal it's all a Romulan plot.....
and Riker's suspicions about THAT reveal the Romulan plot was a ploy,
and it was all about a poor, lonely child stranded on that planet.
Riker offers him transport on the Enterprise (which he accepts).
The big clues for Riker of the original ploy were the computer pausing
whenever he tried to go somewhere unexpected- it was stalling so the
correct hologram could be set up....
...and "Minuet" being his late wife when Minuet herself was only a
holodeck program he met once!
Of course, we just talked about the episode where she appeared,
"You know what disturbs me? The ingratitude. I offered you my kindness, my help, my leadership and how do you repay me? With betrayal. But you won't get rid of me so easily. You see, unlike you, I understand history. My name will blaze across the stars long after your petty treacheries have been forgotten."
"But you won't be here to see it."
"Is this a Ferengi fashion I'm not aware of?"
"How are you, Lieutenant?"
"You know what they say - put the shoe on the right foot first, but put the left foot first into the bathtub."
"Are you finished with me?"
"Unless you'd like to pour yourself through my foretic analyzer. I'd love to see the results."
"Station log, stardate 46922.3. We have identified the dead Klingon. His name was Hon-Tihl, First Officer of the Toh'Kaht. Why he died, and the cause of his ship's destruction, is still unknown."
"Personal log, Miles O'Brien. Stardate 46923.1. We've managed to retrieve a portion of the Klingon Officer's journal. Of course, Major Kira heard about it immediately. She must have spies everywhere."
"I think we'll let it go... this time."
"So, this is how it all ends."
"For you."
"You know what disturbs me? The ingratitude. I offered you my kindness, my help, my leadership and how do you repay me? With betrayal. But you won't get rid of me so easily.

"I've been friends with Benjamin Sisko for many years... In many ways, he's like a son to me. Or at least a nephew... Some kind of close relative anyway..."
"I want you to arrest them. Kira and every Bajoran officer on this station. I want the names of every sympathizer..."
"That's not a good idea, sir. There are a lot more of them than there are of us. If we tip our hand, it could work against us."
"What can we do?"
"Leave the station."
(shouting) "NEVER! Get me a phaser, and I'll get rid of Kira!"
"Hear me out, sir... We leave the station. Raise a Federation attack force... and return. (pause) And on that day we'll get rid of all your enemies."
"How do we proceed?"
"I need a few more hours to free up the Valerian ship. I've already talked to their captain. He's more than happy to take us back to Federation space."
(whispering) "Call me as soon as you're ready."

Is this the DS9 episode where Quark plays a game with some visitors to the station, using the crew as "pieces"? The title was the name of the game, something like "Run Away Home."

"The Wadi". It was a First Contact situation, where the Wadi made a beeline for Quarks' and immediately
began playing. When Quark got tired of excessive winning, he tried to rig the table.
They responded by making Quark play THEIR game.
The name of the game was "Chula" according to the script.
(That's confirmed on Memory Alpha.)
("According to one of the writers of the episode, Jeanne Carrigan-Fauci, the name of the game, "Chula", comes from and is a portmanteau of Chutes and Ladders, as the maze game is a "three-dimensional form" of the game.")
The goal in the game is to "move along home", which is the name of the episode.
"Sir, in the past three years I've lived more than most people do in a lifetime."
"Mr. Dirgo - I would appreciate it if you didn't bury me before I'm gone."
"If there is one thing that I've learned from you, it's that you don't quit. And I'm not gonna quit now. I've seen you think yourself out of worse situations than this; and I'm gonna think us out of this. You're not gonna die. I'm not gonna let you die. I'll get to the water. And I'll keep you alive, until they find us. I promise."
"Sir... you don't know this. No one knows this. Because I've never told anyone. All of the things that I've worked for - school, my science projects, getting into the Academy... I've done it all because I want you to be proud of me."

which probably made this episode easier to guess.
(It's what inspired my choice.)
It's George's turn again.
