Like "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I" was the defining cliffhanging moment for "Star Trek: the Next Generation," this second season ender was the spark that put into motion events that would culminate five years later with the series finale. In this episode, Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) and Quark (Armin Shimerman), along with a female Vorta (Molly Hagen), are captured by the Jem'Hader, a race of clones that serve a mysterious species known as "The Dominion".

Hovering above the planet in a Runabout are Jake (Cirroc Lofton) and Nog (Aaron Eisenberg), both novices to space flight and rescue missions.

Headed by Maj. Kira (Nana Visitor) and Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig), a rescue mission is sent, including the starship "Odyssey," led by Captain Keogh, played by genre veteran Alan Oppenheimer.

A kamikaze attack by a Jem'Hadar ship provides one of the most spectacular and surprising moments in Trek history and a revelation about the Vorta comes out of nowhere to make for a highly anticipated season three.
