[edit] Plot summary
In the previous episode, Kira Nerys, Odo and Garak went to Cardassia to help Damar in his rebellion against the Dominion, while Bashir tried in vain to find a cure for Odo's illness.
Worf suspects that Gowron's new military strategies are meant to humiliate Martok, with no thought of the consequences for the Klingon Empire as a whole. He urges Martok to challenge Gowron, but Martok refuses to even talk about it.
Garak tells Kira that Odo has been hiding the true extent of his illness, but Kira says she knew but wants to let Odo put a brave front. They go with Damar to a Jem'Hadar shipyard with the intent of stealing the Breen energy dampening weapon. Odo takes the form of the female changeling, complete with skin damage, and despite a delay, they successfully steal a Jem'Hadar ship equipped with the Breen weapon.
Miles O'Brien suggests to Julian Bashir that he announce that he has found a cure to the changeling's illness as a way to lure someone from Section 31 to DS9.
Worf challenges Gowron to a duel and kills him. The other Klingons put the Chancellor's robe on Worf, but he hands it over to Martok.
