First of all I have two important things to say about this episode: it seemed like they just really wanted Eddington to have some sort of "good" ending, and second I am super tired so this may be a little short. The space prison Sisko visits to get Eddington for the mission is the station with the genesis device from Wrath of Khan if I am not mistaken which actually stood out quite a bit. Also it seems pretty obvious that Eddington isn't actually going to help Sisko from the beginning which is why I was complaining about this episode existing just to give him an ending earlier.
We begin with General Martok interupting dinner at the Sisko's to tell Benjamin that the Klingons intercepted a transmission which came from the Maquis who everyone thinks are all dead at this point. They are claiming to have launched missiles at Cardassia and the Klingons believe the missiles are cloaked. Sisko decides to only way to stop this missiles which likely contain some sort of biogenic weapon for a vengeance strike is to get Eddington out of prison to help him. Eddington does eventually help when Sisko allows the two to almost be killed by Jem'Hadar but Eddington openly states that he intends to kill Sisko as soon as this is over. Also Sisko believes his dumb lie that the only way to stop the missiles is send the code from the launch site.
They eventually find the carefully hidden base but when they go inside it is swarming with Jem'Hadar. Luckily these are the crappy ones that seem to only show up when our hero's need to get through them so they manage to get into the base and let Eddington's friends out from where they were hiding. It was a ploy of course, there were no missiles. The Jem'Hadar return and Eddington is killed covering his friends escape.
Review: Meh, not terrible but some serious plot holes drag it down a bit. Could have used one more rewrite maybe.
