Synopsis
Quark receives a mysterious Bajoran earring which was smuggled out of a prison camp on Cardassia IV. Major Kira recognizes it as belonging to Li Nalas, a legendary Bajoran resistance fighter. Planning a rescue, she begs Commander Sisko for a Runabout. He agrees, but insists that O'Brien must accompany her. Meanwhile, graffiti bearing the insignia of The Circle, an extremist group that wants to rid Bajor of all outsiders, is found on the station. On Cardassia IV, Kira and O'Brien execute a daring rescue and return to the station with Li and the other survivors. Later, Bajoran minister Jaro arrives to welcome Li home and much to Sisko's dismay, he announces that Li will be the new Liaison Officer to Deep Space Nine, and recalls Major Kira to Bajor.

Grand Nagus Zek selects Quark to negotiate the Ferengi expansion into the Gamma Quadrant. During the negotiations, he comes to rely on the assistance of a young Ferengi waiter, Pel, who is hiding a surprising secret. As the negotiations grow in intensity, their relationship becomes more complex. In a shocking revelation, Pel tells Dax that he is actually a she -- and that she is in love with Quark.

This is the second appearance of Grand Nagus Zek and Maihar'du. This is the beginning of Ferengi trade negotiations with the Gamma Quadrant. They are purchasing 10,000 vats of tulaberry wine from the Dosi. Pel states that there are 285 Rules of Acquisition.

Yamato NCC-71801). The Jem'Hadar destroy the Odyssey. Starfleet should have sent the Enterprise :) The Bajoran outpost in the Gamma Quadrant called "New Bajor" was destroyed by the Jem'Hadar. This episode was nominated for an Emmy for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Special Visual Effects" Rule of Acquisition #102: "Nature decays. Latinum lasts forever."
