Sisko is surprised to find a Klingon armada uncloaking around the station. Their purpose is unclear, so Sisko calls in eveyone's favorite Klingon expert, Worf. At loose ends since the sad loss of the Enterprise-D, Worf doesn't know if he will even remain in Starfleet. Until then, though, it is his task to discover what he can about the Klingons' purpose. The answer has the potential to reshape the entire Alpha Quadrant.

B'Elanna is kidnapped by the Vidiians and is genetically altered into two beings, her Klingon and human halves. In some ways, for the human B'Elanna, it is here fondest wish. She has always hated the impulsive, angry Klingon parts of herself. But she may find she needs her Klingon half's strength as well.

The crew discover that someone aboard Voyager is smuggling technology to the Kazon. Suspicion narrows quickly to Joe Carey and Seska. Chakotay must navigate his personal feelings and history with her to determine if she is indeed guilty. 

While exploring a cave, aliens ambush Neelix and steal his lungs. Voyager tracks the thieves down and discovers a new race called the Vidiians. Once a thriving culture, a disease that slowly eats their bodies has turned them into a band of thieves, stealing and grafting organs to survive. Janeway can't get back Neelix's lungs without killing the man who is now using them. Her Federation ethics bar her from passing a death sentence, and she can certainly empathize with their plight, but as his captain, she also owes a duty to Neelix. What can she do?

It's the premiere of a new series (and at the time, a new network). The starship Voyager, under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway is tasked with arresting a group of Maquis in the Badlands. A freak energy wave envelops the ship and finds herself 70,000 light years from home in the Delta Quadrant. How did they get here? And can whatever sent them here get them back?

The Defiant (and its newly minted Captain Sisko) are sent to the Tzenkethi border to prevent a war. But they may end up starting one. In addition to review the season's finale, we also look back at Season 3 of DS9. It's highs. It's lows. It's creamy middles.

It's the exciting conclusion to an exciting pair of episodes. Garak has found that the plot to kill him is not only connected to his former mentor, spymaster Enabran Tain, but was indeed commissioned by him. It's all part of a larger plot to covertly attack the Dominion in join Romulan-Cardassian plan. Now Garak is invited back into the fold while Odo is his prisoner.

In what I think can easily be thought of as a watershed moment for the series, DS9 embarks on a tale of intrigue and deception, focused on the station's resident ersatz tailor, Garak. His shop is destroyed in an apparent assassination attempt, but that is only the tiniest piece of a much larger puzzle. Can Odo find out who is responsible before the killer strikes again?

The station is hosting a trio of Cardassian scientists in the hopes of beginning the process of building a peaceful relationship between Cardassia and Bajor and creating stable communication through the wormhole. However, a firebrand cleric is on the station warning that their presence fulfills a prophecy that predicts doom if the scientists work is allowed to continue.
