  • Written by: Ira Steven Behr & Robert Hewitt Wolfe
  • Directed by: James L. Conway
  • Music by: Dennis McCarthy
  • Guest Cast:
    • Stardate 49011.4: As the crew of Deep Space 9 try to prepare for a possible invasion by the Dominion, a fleet of Klingon ships decloak and take "shore leave" on the station. The Cardassians have sealed their borders after a rumored coup on their homeworld, and Klingon ships are stopping ships leaving Bajoran space to search them for Changelings. To get answers, Sisko calls on the aid of Lt. Commander Worf, who has been among the Klingon clerics on Boreth following the Enterprise's destruction, and is considering resigning Starfleet. Worf learns that the Klingons plan to invade Cardassia on the suspicion that the new civilian government is run by the Founders. Sisko uses Garak to warn the Cardassians, and Gul Dukat manages to save the Detepa Council as the Klingon fleet advances. But the Defiant is needed to get them to safety - and its aid will have far-reaching consequences for the Federation and the Klingon Empire.

On a rainy night, a visitor arrives - a young woman who aspires to be a writer. Jake tells her the story of why he hasn't written in years. Long ago, he was on a trip with his father in the Defiant when an accident in the engine room caused his father to disappear before his eyes. Yet when Ben Sisko began appearing to him in the flesh, for a few minutes at a time, with years between appearances, it became clear that he was not dead, but trapped in subspace. Jake went on with his life, married, became a famous writer - but was forever haunted by his father's disappearance, and became obsessed with rescuing him. Now, Jake has finally found a solution...but what will it cost him?

They track it to a planet thought to be uninhabited, where the runabout hits a plasma field and is forced to crash-land. The two are captured by a group of Jem'Hadar. But these Jem'Hadar are different - their leader, Goran'Agar, is actually free of their race's genetic addiction to the enzyme known as Ketracel-white, and has brought the others here in hopes of freeing them as well from the "white" and the Dominion. Goran'Agar forces Bashir to work on a cure for the addiction, while O'Brien tries to convince the doctor to escape with him. Meanwhile, on the station, Worf finds he has a lot to learn about the way things are done in his new home, as he clashes with Odo over a smuggling investigation.

Kira is about to go and investigate when the trip is postponed slightly so that someone can join her: Gul Dukat. On the mission, Dukat reveals that he too has someone he is concerned about on the ship, a Bajoran woman with whom he had an affair. Kira learns also that Dukat's half-Bajoran daughter was also on the ship, and that Dukat's personal mission is to find her and kill her.

Trill society has a strict taboo against "reassociation" with past lovers, for which the penalty is exile - meaning that both symbionts will die with their current hosts. Therefore Dax and Lenara must be careful about interacting...but despite their best efforts they find themselves reawakening old emotional ties. What will Dax risk in order to be with her former love?
