    • Trivia
      First appearance of Garak the Tailor.
    • Goofs
      Tahna tells Kira that after he destroys the wormhole, the Federation will leave Bajor. However, the Federation was asked by the provisional government to be there before the wormhole was discovered, so there's no reason they would leave if it went away.
    • Quotes

      Major Kira: Maybe there are still wars to be fought, and I'm just making a fool of myself doing what 'm doing here.

      Odo: It sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into something - or out of something?

      Major Kira: Either way I have to betray someone.

      Odo: The only important thing is not to betray yourself.

    Whose Side Are You On?
    When a Bajoran terrorist shows up, Kira is conflicted, having been involved in revolutionary activities. Unfortunately, this guy has become a megalomaniac and is extremely dangerous. Conflict develops between Kira and Sisco and Kira. Meanwhile, Garak the tailor is introduced and entreats the Doctor to become his friend. Soon a couple of Klingon women show up and begin to bargain a serious weapon. Sisco is still learning the ropes, so he feels he must be absolutely fair in every situation, not totally trusting Odo's judgment and recognizing that Kira is a loose cannon. Some really significant bonds are formed in this episode.
