Storyline

The joint Romulan and Cardassian fleet approaches the station. Sisko is ready for a fight, but the fleet immediately goes through the wormhole. They are on their way to destroy the Founders' home planet. Sisko wants to pursue them to find the captured Odo, but Starfleet Command has different plans. Admiral Toddman orders the Defiant to stay back and guard Bajor. Sisko is not amused and defies the admiral's orders. Meanwhile on the fleet Enabram Tain gives Garak his first assignment: he must interrogate Odo to find out about possible planetary defenses of the Founders. Garak gets a device that emits a quantum stasis field. It was designed by the Obsidian Order to prevent changelings from altering their form.

User Reviews

Garak tortures Odo

Following on from "Improbable Cause" this episode opens with Garak and Odo on board a ship that is part of an invasion fleet heading to the Gamma Quadrant in order to attack the Founders' home world. Their positions though are very different, Garak is working with his old friend Enabran Tain and Odo is a prisoner who he must torture to gain further information about the Founders. As the invasion fleet goes past Deep Space Nine on its way to the Gamma Quadrant Sisko request permission to go after it in an effort to rescue Odo and Garak; permission is refused but he goes anyway taking the rest of the senior crew with him in the Defiant.

This was an exciting episode with plenty of thrills and a few surprises, the highlights however were the scenes between Garak and Odo, Andrew Robinson and Rene Auberjonois put in great performances. It was interesting to see that Star Fleet would be happy to see the invasion go ahead even if they officially disapprove.
