      Writer Paul Robert Coyle's original idea for this episode involved O'Brien waking up one morning to find Molly and Keiko gone and nobody on the entire station remembers him ever being there. He then finds out there is a Chief Miles O'Brien in Starfleet,but, he is serving on the USS Enterprise-D, and the episode entails him trying to sort out the mystery.

    Chief O'Brien's paranoia
    This episode of DS9 is told in flashback by Chief O'Brien as he is fleeing a posse from his fellow space station staffers. He narrates into the log of the runabout he is fleeing on how these events have come about.

    Basically after he has come back from the planet Parada checking their security systems for a planned Federation sponsored peace conference, Colm Meaney is treated like a pariah by the staff and even his wife and daughter are acting strange toward him. He suspects some kind of plot to sabotage the conference.

    I confess this one had me baffled. I reached a wrong conclusion here. The explanation for it all was both logical and simple. This episode belongs to Colm Meaney.
