    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Frank Langella asked to be uncredited for his role as Minister Jaro Essa in 3-parter The Homecoming, The Circle, and The Siege, since he was doing the series for his children Frank III and Sarah (both of whom were devoted Star Trek fans), not for exposure or money.
    • Goofs
      When Dax and Kira are dressing up as Vedeks, Dax pulls Kira's sash through the ring twice and fastens it twice.
    • Quotes

      [Quark is pushing a heavy chest down the access tunnel]

      Dr. Julian Bashir: Quark, leave it!

      Quark: I can't leave it, it's all that I have. My personal mementos, my family album...

      Dr. Julian Bashir: It's full of gold-pressed latinum, and you know it.

      Quark: ...Who told you?

      Dr. Julian Bashir: Your mother did, the day you were born.

      [Quark shoves the chest aside and speed-crawls down the tunnel, until he's nose-to-nose with Bashir]

      Quark: Never make fun of a Ferengi's mother! Rule of Acquisition Number 31!

    What heroes are made of
    In this conclusion of a three part opener it looks very much like the Federation is scuttling their Deep Space 9 project. Avery Brooks is delaying implementation and he and the staff are fighting a rear guard action while Nana Visitor and Terry Farrell try to get to the provisional government of Bajor to give evidence of Cardassian complicity in the rebellion.

    This was a fine ending and also it reaffirmed that Richard Beymer whose rescue by Major Kira and Chief O'Brien started this story. Indeed in the end Beymer shows he has the right stuff.
