151. Images in the
Sand |
Three months after a
possessed Gul Dukat killed Jadzia Dax and sealed the
wormhole, life on Deep Space Nine has changed. Kira, the
acting commander, is upset when Admiral Ross informs her
that the Romulans will set up a station office, while
Sisko has retreated to Earth to contemplate a way of
contacting the Bajoran Prophets -- the aliens who reside
within the wormhole. When the vision of a woman's face,
buried in the sand, appears to Sisko, he sketches her,
and Jake recognizes her from one of his grandfather's
photos. |
|
152. Shadows and
Symbols |
Sisko meets Ezri, the
new host of the Dax symbiont, before departing Earth for
the planet Tyree with his father, Joseph, and son Jake.
Ezri wished to accompany them on their search for
Bajor's mythical Orb of the Emissary, which Sisko has
been led to believe exists. Back at the station, Kira
prepares a blockade to stop the Romulans, who have
placed weapons on a Bajoran moon. On a Klingon ship,
Worf, O'Brien, Bashir, and Quark embark on a mission of
their own: to destroy a Dominion shipyard, thus securing
a place for the spirit of Worf's dead wife Jadzia in the
sacred Klingon afterlife of Sto-vo-kor. |
|
153. Afterimage |
In addition to coping
with the memories of her "past lives," Ezri Dax must
deal with the range of reactions her presence generates.
Kira awkwardly tries to make conversation; Sisko is
happy to have his old friend back; Quark flirts with
her; and Worf, pained by the memory of his dead wife
Jadzia, which Ezri's presence provokes, makes it clear
he wants nothing to do with her. Elsewhere, Garak
inexplicably collapses and is rushed to Bashir's care. |
|
154. Take Me Out to
the Holo-Suite |
Vulcan Captain Solok
brings his starship to Deep Space Nine for repairs made
necessary from combat skirmishes. Convinced his
all-Vulcan crew is the finest in the fleet, he
challenges former classmate and longtime rival Sisko to
a baseball game on the Holosuite. With only two weeks to
whip his team into shape, Sisko vows he's going to beat
Solok - even though Jake is the only other person
residing on the station who has ever played baseball. |
|
155. Chrysalis
|
A group of
genetically enhanced humans, once under Bashir's care,
escape from their medical facility home in the hopes
that the doctor -- who himself was genetically
engineered as a child -- can cure their friend Sarina.
Her enhancements left her in a catatonic state, and
Bashir attempts an untried procedure on her brain that
initially appears to have no effect. However, a few days
later, Sarina speaks for the first time. |
|
156. Treachery,
Faith, and the Great River |
Odo is lured to a
secret meeting site, where he finds himself face to face
with Weyoun, the Vorta leader of the enemy Dominion.
Weyoun announces that he's decided to defect and, in
exchange for asylum, he promises to provide valuable
information that could help the Federation win the war.
After the two board Odo's Runabout, the ship is hailed
by the Cardassians. Odo is shocked when the monitor
displays Weyoun standing beside Damar. |
|
157. Once More Into
The Breach |
To Worf's surprise,
he is paid a visit by Kor, an aging Klingon war hero.
Kor admits that his ambition has earned him countless
enemies, and that consequently he has been unable to
secure the command of a ship. Worf promises to find him
a miltary command, and approaches General Martok with
the request--which is angrily refused. Martok explains
that years earlier Kor had denied Martok officer status
because he was descended from a common house. Undaunted,
Worf appoints Kor as a third officer on the Ch'Tang,
Martok's flagship, where he is treated with awe by the
crew--much to Martok's chagrin. |
|
158. The Siege of
AR-588 |
While making a supply
run to the front lines, on the barren planet AR-558,
Sisko encounters Starfleet troops that have been
decimated during their five-month occupation of the
largest Dominion communications array in the sector. If
they can figure out how it works, Starfleet will be able
to tap into Dominion transmissions. In addition to daily
skirmishes with the enemy, the shell-shcoked forces are
constantly threatened by "Houdinis" -- anti-personnel
mines that "hide" in subspace, then explode without
warning. Determined to help commanding officer Nadia
Larkin and her troops, Sisko stuns his crew by
announcing that they're staying at the site
indefinitely. |
|
159. Covenant |
Vedek Fala, a Bajoran
monk and Kira's former teacher, pays her an unexpected
visit. He gives Kira a crystal which transports her to
Empok Nor, where, to her horror, she is met by her old
enemy Dukat--a Cardassian who oversaw the occupation of
Bajor. He is now the leader of a Bajoran religious
faction which worships the Pah-wraiths--the corporeal
enemies of Bajor's prophets. Dukat want Kira to join his
followers on the abandoned Cardassian space station. |
|
160. It's Only a
Paper Moon |
After losing his leg
in battle, a somber Nog returns to the space station to
recuperate. The crew try their best to cheer him up, but
the young ensign is struggling, both emotionally and
physically, to cope with his disability, even though his
new biosynthetic leg works perfectly. After pushing away
those who try the most diligently to help, Nog decides
to take his medical leave in the Holosuite world of 1962
Las Vegas lounge singer Vic Fontaine. |
|
161. The Prodigal
Daughter |
Sisko is furious when
he learns O'Brien has vanished while on a secret trip to
New Sydney, where he was searching for the widow of a
criminal named Bilby, whom he befriended while
undercover. Because Ezri's family owns a mining
operation in the system, Sisko asks her to help find
O'Brien. Ezri returns home, where she's reunited with
her domineering mother, Yanas Tigan - a shrewd business
woman - and her brothers Norvo and Janel, who work for
the business. |
|
162. The Emperor's
New Cloak |
Grand Negus Zek, the
ruler of the Ferengi empire and paramour to Quark and
Rom's mother, disappears while on a business trip to the
Alternate Universe. Ezri's counterpart from the universe
delivers word that Zek is a prisoner of the evil
Alliance and will be killed unless Quark can secure a
cloaking device, which renders a ship invisible. Quark
and Rom steal one from a Klingon vessel, then accompany
Ezri back to the Alternate Universe to retrieve Zek. |
|
163. Field of Fire |
A young lieutenant
named Ilario is found dead in his quarters. An
investigation reveals he was shot by a TR-116 rifle, a
weapon developed but never mass-produced by Starfleet.
Meanwhile, Ezri confronts one of Dax's previous
incarnations in a dream: Joran, a self-professed
murderer, urges Ezri to channel his disturbing memories
and enable him to assist her in apprehending Ilario's
killer. When Ezri awakens, she learns that a second
murder has occurred. |
|
164. Chimera |
Odo returns from a
conference with an unexpected guest: a Changeling who
tracked and boarded his Runabout. Odo recognizes him as
one of "the hundred" shapeshifters who were, like
himself, sent out as infants into the galaxy to learn
about other species. Back at the station, Sisko warily
releases the visitor to Odo's custody. The Changeling,
known as Laas, queries Odo about their unique species -
with which Laas has made no contact since his infancy -
and "the Link," a Changeling ritual that allows
shapeshifters to meld with one another and thereby form
a single, sentient collective entity. |
|
165. Badda-bing,
Badda-bang |
While relaxing in Vic
Fontaine's Las Vegas holosuite lounge, O'Brien and
Bashir are surprised by the arrival of mobster Frankie
Eyes, who announces that he has bought Vic's hotel.
After he fires Vic, the crew learns that Frankie was
created by Vic's designer. Upset by Frankie's behaviour,
and by the knowledge that the lounge's atmosphere will
now change, the crew desides it must rid him from the
program. But he must be eliminated in a way what is
period-specific to Fontaine's era: 1962. The task takes
on greater urgency when Vic is
beaten up. |
|
166. Inter Arma Enim
Silent Leges |
On the eve of Dr.
Bashir's departure for a conference on the Romulan
homeworld, he's visited by Sloan, the director of
Section Thirty-one, a secret and unsanctioned extremist
entity within Starfleet Intelligence. Sloan asks a
reluctant Bashir to gather information on the Romulan
leadership. Bashir reports the request to Sisko, who
worries that although Starfleet Command has officially
condemned Section Thirty-one, someone in its membership
may actually be protecting the group. After consulting
with Admiral Ross, Sisko advises Bashir to play along
with SLoan in order to determine Sloan's motivations. |
|
167. Penumbra
|
As Sisko revels in
the purchase of Bajoran land, where he hopes to finally
build his dream house, word reaches the station that
Worf is missing in action after a fierce battle with the
Dominion. Due to strategic concerns, Sisko calls off the
search party before Worf can be found. Overcome by
memories of Jadzia's life with Worf, Ezri steals a
runabout and goes in search of Worf herself. |
|
168. 'Til Death Do Us
Part |
Kai Winn arrives at
the station to "assist" Sisko with his wedding, and he
admits the Prophets warned he would face a great trial
in his future. Later, Winn has a long-awaited vision
from the Prophets, who reveal that a "Guide" will soon
visit her; the Prophets hope that, together, the two
will lead Bajor's Restoration. Shortly before Sisko
tells Kasidy that they must call off their wedding,
Dukat, surgically altered to look like a Bajoran,
appears of the Promenade. |
|
169. Strange
Bedfellows |
Worf and Ezri are
beamed aboard a Jem'Hadar ship, where the Female
Shapeshifter and Thot Gor, the respective leaders of the
new Dominion-Breen alliance, prepare to sign a treaty
designed to destroy the Federation and end the war.
However, Damar objects to signing it because of
concessions, made to Thot Gor, which could harm
Cardassia. Meanwhile, Kai Winn and Dukat seal their bond
by pledging to restore Bajor - even if the Emissary
stands in their way. |
|
170. The Changing
Face of Evil |
The crew's relief at
Worf and Ezri's safe return is tempered by reports that
the Breen have attacked Starfleet Headquarters on Earth.
While Dominion and Breen commanders exult in their sneak
attack, their supposed ally - Cardassian leader Damar -
secretly plots to free his homeland from Dominion
occupation. Meanwhile, on Bajor, Dukat tells Kai Winn
she must release the Pah-wraiths - the corporeal enemies
of her people's gods - from the planet's fire caves by
reading the ancient forbidden text of the Kosst Amojan. |
|
171. When It Rains
|
Eager to aid Damar's
rebel movement on his homeworld against the Dominion,
Sisko orders Kira to put her antipathy for the
Cardassian aside and train his staff in resistance
tactics. Bashir asks Odo to assist in his medical
project by donating the Changeling-equivalent of a skin
sample. On Bajor, Kai Winn studies the forbidden text of
the Kosst Amojan to learn how to release the evil
Pah-wraiths. Hoping to ease Cardassian sentiment against
the Bajoran Kira, Sisko givers her a Starfleet
commission and uniform. |
|
172. Tacking Into The
Wind |
While Kira reviews
tactical plans with the Cardassian Resistance leaders,
Odo returns from a mission, weakened by the disease
that's ravaging his race. At the station, Bashir works
through the night, trying to find a cure for Odo, while
Sisko reproves Chancellor Gowron for reckless attacks
which left General Martok injured. Back at the revel
headquarters, Kira, eager to discover why the
Federation's Klingon ships aren't damaged by
Breen-Dominion technology, proposes stealing the enemy's
weaponry so that the Federation can engineer a
countermeasure. |
