Dukat and Sisko have a heart to heart.
This is a solid character episode with a memorable central performance.
There is not much about the plot to reveal other than Dukat features heavily and Alaimo puts his heart into the performance. It is quite reminiscent of the movie 'Misery' where we have a psycho looking after/holding captive an injured patient. On occasions the dialogue is bit obvious with exposition and it can sound marginally awkward, but most of it works very well, particularly as Alaimo delivers it so well.
Avery Brooks is also great and the interplay between the characters lays the foundations for later episodes.
For me it's a 7.5/10, but I round upwards.
