Synopsis

A young lieutenant named Ilario is found dead in his quarters. An investigation reveals he was shot by a TR-116 rifle, a weapon developed but never mass-produced by Starfleet. Meanwhile, Ezri confronts one of Dax's previous incarnations in a dream: Joran, a self-professed murderer, urges Ezri to channel his disturbing memories and enable him to assist her in apprehending Ilario's killer. When Ezri awakens, she learns that a second murder has occurred.

Notes

The Starfleet TR-116 rifle fires a chemically-propelled tritanium bullet. It was designed to be used in situations when particle weapons could not be used.
Lt. Cmdr. Greta Vanderweg was the second victim. Bolian Petty Officer Zim Brott was the third victim.
Ezri uses the Trill Rite of Emergence to bring out Joran.
Joran killed three people. Jadzia found out about Joran in the episode "Equilibrium". Jeff Magnus McBride played Joran in that episode.
This is the first episode written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe since he left DS9 at the end of season 5.
