The election day for the new Kai is approaching and both Vedek Bareil and Vedek Winn are on the station. Bareil is especially interested in Kira's vote, Winn has a completely different agenda. She's awaiting the arrival of secretary Kubus Oak, who was special liaison between Cardassians and the Bajoran government, during the occupation. After the occupation, Kubus Oak fled to Cardassia. Kira and Odo are determined to make sure he gets the proper sentence. Without warning, Winn wants to leave the station with Oak. She accessed information about Prylar Bek- another Bajoran collaborator - who hanged himself after he gave away the location of a rebel base in the Kendra Valley. Winn tells her Kubus gave away the name of the person really responsible for the massacre: Vedek Bareil. Kira tries to find the truth. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
This is another one of those episodes that incorporates the supernatural Bajorin stuff with the Kai and the Prophets and so on. There is this monastic society that wields great power with the Kai being at the top of the list. It is supposedly supposed to be a spiritual calling, but it is, instead, highly political. Kira gets up to her neck in things better left alone and ends up doing more damage than good. I'm really tired of these episodes, but I suppose since the Federation has to cow tow to these characters (like Winn) we will have a steady diet of it.
