Another episode of the prophets. This time a prophet takes over Kira's body to fight a Pah wraith that grabbed Jake's body. And of course the shootout takes place on the station while both face each other like gunslingers in a Western movie. But instead of pulling their guns they just shoot different colored energy beams at each other which come out of their bellies.
Even worse than those Bajorans still thinking that the prophets are their gods, Sisko is now full on prophet mode, too. Ignore the fact, that this species is just a highly evolved non-corporal life form that exists beyond our definition of space and linear time.
All starts with a stone tablet that is found in ancient ruins on Bajor. Sisko travels to Bajor to investigate but the petroglyphs cannot be deciphered on the spot so Sisko decides to take the whole tablet with him back to the station (I wonder why he doesn't just take a photograph or a holographic image - he did that before with an obelisk he found in that same ancient city in another episode). Suddenly nature catastrophes begin to strike Bajor and the wormhole seems to cause quakes in space. Kai Winn is not amused and accuses Sisko of blasphemy and that he caused all this by stealing the sacred artefact.
And then it is high noon and the energy beings battle each other while Sisko seems just fine with risking the life of his son dying in that fight. It is just really bad.
