The clones were both named Betty.  One plot involved Quark aging premat-
urely, one involved the crew meeting their evil doubles, and so on, all
spoofing various Star Trek episodes.  I forget the robot's name, but he
looked a lot like the one from Lost in Space.  He often had personal 
crises and fell in love with other machines.
