Product Review
This second half of a two-part drama finds Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) and his Cardassian counterpart, Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo), working closely to uncover a conspiracy by Maquis terrorists to provoke a major war between the Federation and Cardassia. The crisis is also personal for Sisko, who discovers that an old friend from Starfleet, Cal Hudson (Bernie Casey), has joined the rebels.

The story by series creators and executive producers Rick Berman and Michael Piller (with a teleplay by Ira Steven Behr) may be DS9's most explicit illustration of how this spinoff show worked hard at proving its legitimacy as a different kind of Star Trek while also connecting with the canon's established legacies. Yet the episode's focus, quite wisely, is on Sisko, who discovers (not for the last time) that the treacherous times in which he finds himself routinely claim old loyalties and shift alliances around in unexpected ways. Avery Brooks carries the ball here, though Marc Alaimo is wonderful in some of his earliest explorations of Dukat's multiple contradictions. --Tom Keogh

Back Cover Copy
After capturing Sisko (Avery Brooks) and his officers, the Maquis, led by Cal Hudson (Bernie Casey), ask them to join in the battle against the Cardassians, but Sisko refuses and the Maquis slip away.

Back on the station, Sisko discovers that the Cardassian Central Command has been smuggling weapons into the Demilitarized Zone without Gul Dukat's (Marc Alaimo) knowledge. After rescuing the Cardassian leader, who was kidnapped by the Maquis, the two join forces in an effort to put an end to the conflict.

In the final confrontation, Sisko must face his old friend in a battle that will decide the fate of the Federation-Cardassian peace treaty.
