• The runabout U.S.S. Mekong NCC-72617 is destroyed by the Jem'Hadar.
  
• While under Garak's interrogation, Odo admits that he wants to join his people.
  
• Col. Lovok is a changeling. He invites Odo to join the link. Odo declines.
  
• This was a trap to weaken the Cardassians and Romulans. The only threats remaining in the Alpha Quadrant are the Federation and the Klingons.
