    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ilario's last exchange with Dax is a play on an apocryphal exchange between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock, Member of Parliament. Ms. Braddock reportedly told Churchill, "Sir, you are drunk", to which Churchill replied, "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."
    • Goofs
      Sisko and Odo do not seem to know the second victim, even though she was a senior officer holding the rank of Lieutenant Commander and was stationed at DS9 for three years.
    • Quotes

      [Dax is investigating the murders on the station]

      Lt. Commander Worf: I am certain that you will do whatever is necessary to complete your task.

      Lieutenant Ezri Dax: And how do you know that?

      Lt. Commander Worf: You're Dax. It is your way.

    I love the premise
    I really enjoyed this ep but I think it didn't track with Dax's character. She would have alerted Sisco about Joran's emergence and there would have been consequences for Ezri due to how she resolved the case consistent with Starfleet protocol. The last scene should have at least alluded to this and definitely shown it. Surprising that by the 7th season something as glaring as this was missed.
