This episode manages to move a bunch of the story elements in the show forward at once without feeling too forced. Some of it may have been a stretch, but overall it works well. I have to say I felt bad for everybody being upset with Worf that he was annoyed about three other men who were in love with his wife wanting to get in on honoring her after death. It is good to see Sisko has gotten his act together, I remember him being a hermit a little longer, but then I had to wait an actual three months over the summer before the show started up again instead of only a single night.
We begin with Ezri Dax introducing herself to the Sisko's and insists on going along on the trip to Tyree. Worf gets ready to leave the station with Julian and Miles but at the last minute Quark shows up and insists on going along as well. The Romulans aren't backing down on the weapons on the moon of Bajor and Kira sets up a blockade to stop them from bringing in the detonators. Sisko arrives at Tyree but starts hearing voices before he beams down. Worf is upset about the three, well, really two, Miles really was just her friend, guys who thought they loved Jadzia but Martok reminds him that they were his friends so he apologizes. The Romulans haven't given up on the weapons and send some warbirds to deliver "supplies" to the hospital, but Kira refuses to back down.
Sisko manages to find the orb but when he goes to open it he is suddenly the writer trapped in an asylum now writing the story on the walls. He is interrupted by a doctor who insists he stop writing. The Romulans show up even earlier than they said they would and the Starfleet admiral in charge tries to talk her down, but she refuses. The plan to blow up the shipyards from the klingon ship doesn't work the first time, but they fly even closer to the star being pursued by Jem'Hadar and this time it works. Kira gets Starfleet to make the Romulans back down at the very last second. Past Sisko refuses to stop writing and real Sisko opens the orb releasing a prophet who reopens the wormhole. He has a vision of his mother and learns that a prophet possessed her body and made sure he was conceived. Sisko returns to the station to warm greetings and everybody is pleased to meet Ezri except Worf.
Review: Lots happened in this episode and it wasn't boring, but it also just didn't grab me like some of them do. Not quite sure what was wrong, maybe just a little too much going on. Not a bad episode, but not the greatest either.
