Ro made a single appearance in the sixth season, in the episode "". In this episode, a transporter accident reverts Ro and three others into adolescents, with the younger version of Ro portrayed by Megan Parlen. There was some consideration after the episode about whether or not to keep Ro as a child, as her return to adulthood was never shown on screen. Taylor said that the change would have been "too drastic for us", and the idea was abandoned. Her final appearance, in the penultimate episode of the series, "", had been considered a long shot by the producers. After the failure to agree to her appearances on "", Forbes' agent had warned them to stay away from her. A week prior to filming, there was no story created for the episode other than the idea it would follow on from the "Deep Space Nine" episode "", and no agreement had been reached with Forbes to appear. Her agent indicated that Forbes wanted to talk directly to the producers, so she made the phone call, making up a story for the episode as the conversation went on. Forbes agreed, making her final appearance in the franchise. The character was promoted to Lieutenant, and Forbes wore updated Bajoran makeup developed by Westmore for "Deep Space Nine".
