The Dominion war just keeps getting wilder with the rapid switching of sides by the Cardassians. I don't remember exactly how it all goes down but I am pretty sure Sisko's revelation that Bajor must stand alone is going to end up paying off in a big way. They didn't waste any time resolving the issue with the changeling Bashir which is honestly a good thing. It looks like we will be seeing a lot more of general Martok which is also a good thing.
We begin where we left off with the Dominion fleet streaming through the wormhole. The Defiant heads out to fight the fleet along with Dukat's Bird of Prey but it turns out they aren't the target, Cardassia is. Only that isn't quite right either, instead of breaking off or attacking Dukat flies his ship directly into the Dominion fleet, it turns out they are allies now. Back on the prison asteroid Garak is working on a link to the runabout when all the prisoners are summoned. With the new alliance all Cardassians are being released, except for Garak. The new head of the Cardassian government isn't a big fan of his, it is of course Dukat. While Garak gets back to work Worf is put in a ring to fight every Jem'Hadar on the station one by one from weakest to strongest. He manages to take four the first day.
Back on the station Gowron shows up with a fleet and rather than kill himself in a last attack Sisko convinces him to reform the Klingon alliance with the Federation. However other things aren't going so well. A security officer has been killed and the industrial replicator was used to make something and a changeling is suspected, but they have no idea who. Sensors indicate a Dominion fleet is inbound so they prepare for a fight but with the enemy only ten minutes out a fleet of Romulans decloaks and requests to join their fleet.
In the prison things aren't going great as Worf fights the Jem'Hadar first and isn't winning, but he refuses to quit. The Jem'Hadar surrenders to him rather than kill Worf which prompts the Vorta to order them both killed, but just at that moment Garak triggers the transporter on the runabout and they all escape. On the station they find suddenly that there is no Dominion fleet, but fake Bashir is gone and has taken a runabout with a huge bomb and is heading straight for the sun. They only just stop him from destroying the star system along with the combined triple fleet. The escaping runabout returns and Garak is reunited with Ziyal and Miles is horrified to learn he has been hanging out with a founder for a few weeks.
Review: A mostly plot episode with a bit of good character stuff along the way. They aren't wasting time figuring out who is on which side which I appreciate. Can't wait to keep watching!
