    "Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth" - When a captain who survived a month-long siege from Dominion and Breen troops arrives on DS9, despite the odds being too high to survive on his own, he tries his hand at various activities on the station. He goes undefeated in both dabo and tongo, masters Altonian brain teasers in the holosuites in mere days, gains command of DS9, and even has success in an abrupt marriage proposal to a woman he had an extremely bad breakup with. It attracts the suspicions of Sisko, who asks Odo, Jake and Ezri to help him investigate. As it reminds Sisko of an encounter during his days on the Saratoga with non-corporal beings that could make anyone the luckiest person in the universe, if the beings inhabited their body first.

Jake attends the meeting and meets two Bynar sisters who have turned to programming to process their losses. One confesses to Jake that her sister wants to be assimilated to the point of obsession, and is making her come along with her, unwillingly, and pleads for his help. Sisko is forced to deal with his feelings when the willing sister abducts Jake as he's trying to aid the unwilling. Can he stop his son from being lost to him forever?

    "Lofty Ambitions" - Kira befriends a friend of Ziyal’s that arrives on the station. Much like Ziyal, she is of a mixed Bajoran and Cardassian heritage. However, she causes a stir on both Bajor and Cardassia when she seeks to become the first vedek of Cardassian descent. Meanwhile Alexander tells Worf that seeks to partake in the Second Rite of Ascension. This encourages Jadzia to also wish to go through the Klingon tradition, which no Trill has ever done before.

    "Selena"

    While engaging in a spy adventure in the holosuite, Dr. Bashir is surprised to meet a character he didn't remember programming into the game, a beautiful and vivacious woman named Selena. Bashir's surprise is increased immeasurably when, later that evening when alone in his quarters, he answers his door to find Selena! After inviting her in, they share a night of passion. Bashir is disappointed to find her gone when he awakes in the morning. Bashir finds that he cannot stop thinking about her and is distracted with thoughts of her while at work and at breakfast with Garak.

    Meanwhile, the Federation crew of Deep Space Nine and Odo's security team are quite busy. A delegation of Bajoran priests, vedeks, and the Kai herself arrive for a Bajoran holy week ceremony during which they will engage in an extremely rare showing of the ancient holy Bajoran Tychel Crystal, thousands of years old and kept well hidden from the Cardassians. Ancient Bajoran belief has it that on rare occasions, the Crystal has the power to grant a lucky individual their fondest wish...

    "Ghost In The Machine" - A bar patron who cannot pay his debts seemingly ditches the station, so Odo lets Quark into the patron's guest quarters to seize whatever he left behind in payment. Among the junk is an unusual bit of alien technology with no obvious purpose. Quark gives it to Rom, who gives it to Nog, who trades it to Jake for something he wants. Everywhere the device goes, trouble (or at least mild annoyance) follows. In reality, the patron was hiding in the device and coming out and causing mischief when nobody was looking. Meanwhile, Odo and Kira read a Bajoran text and discuss it together, but their different interpretations cause friction.

    "Bending Towards The Light" - The command crew of DS9 abruptly decides that they are going to take the space station to a brand-new location in the Alpha Quadrant, far away from Bajor. It takes Keiko’s knowledge of botany and of plants bending towards light to understand what is happening – the crew is attracted to some stimuli that is directing them away from Bajor. Keiko calls on her husband and Bashir to help fix the problem. Can Keiko save the station and its crew before DS9 disappearing into the singularity they are headed towards?

    Meanwhile, Worf and Jake Sisko take a botany class.

    “The Book of Sisko” - A Bajoran scholar finds an illuminated manuscript in a sepulchre that suggests that Bajor may have had its own Benny Russell, of a sort - he was an ancient prophet, a la Jeremiah/Elijah from the Bible, who called the Bajorans back from worshiping false gods. Ben imagines (not hallucinates, this time) himself and his fellow crewmembers in the roles of the false vedeks and the people of the city.

    "Intercept Course" - When DS9 receives a distress signal from a long lost and derelict Constitution class ship, the Defiant sets an intercept course deep within Cardassian space. Upon boarding, they find that the crew is manned by Klingons that had boarded the vessel when it had crossed into the Klingon Neutral Zone over a century ago. However, the crew does not seem to have aged more than a few years, and the Klingons are adamant that they neither passed through an anomaly, or were in cryostasis. The investigation is disrupted with the news of Cardassians on an intercept course of their own. With dozens of Cardasian ships on the way, can Sisko get both his crew and the derelict Constitution class starship back to Federation space?

    “Orange Pylons” - DS9's docking pylons are temporarily offline due to a systems failure that causes dangerous radiation leaks, leaving Kira and Sisko to turn ships away. The station residents are squeezed into containment areas (protective bunkers) and barricaded in safe areas all over DS9. Meanwhile, Bashir is forced to put his engineer hat on when Miles O'Brien is trapped in a collapsed conduit, unable to move, and a small ship that refused to leave the area has crashed into the wall.

    "Poison Pen" - Odo has been working around the clock to solve the origin of a series of poison pen letters sent to a number of individuals on the station - from the senior staff, to Quark and his employees, to Jake, to Keiko and her children. The investigation takes Odo off the station and onto an Intrepid class starship, where a member of the crew is not who they appear to be – or is working alone.

    Meanwhile, Ezri counsels the O’Brien family, who are upset that their privacy has been breached.

    “The Defiant, The Okinawa and The Saratoga” - Sisko reunites with a friend who was a crewmate of his on the O and the S. The friend claims that someone has been stalking her through their many years of knowing each other, and asks Sisko to work with her to determine who it could be - no involving anyone else. Sisko agrees, but finds that her story doesn't line up. It turns out she's been stalking Sisko for years, off and on, and her obsession has heated up with word that he is the Emissary. She wants to be his goddess wife, even if it means they must die to be reborn.

    "Joint Venture" - Jake is approached by Mardah, who has returned to the station and proposes marriage to him. Except she is not Mardah at all – she is actually of Bajoran and Cardassian heritage and is simply posing as her. And she has already used Mardah’s name and image to join the Bajoran extremist group The Circle, which has been quietly rebuilding itself into a more potent force. When Jake discovers the ruse, her plot get further complicated when she alludes that she is another on of Dukat’s illegitimate children, and she wants to use Jake to lure both Sisko and Dukat so that she can kill them both at the same time.

    Meanwhile, Quark approaches Sisko about a joint business venture on Bajor. Sisko eventually relents after Quark makes a very persuasive argument. But accepting the venture draws the ire of the Kai and a couple of vedeks, who do not envision their Emissary as being motivated by profit.

    "Sensations" - Quark’s customers are addicted to a new holosuite program that can manipulate senses to an intense degree. This becomes a problem for Quark because it means his customers are not at all interested in any other activities at his bar. When he is unable to turn to Rom as he is one of the users of the program, he turns to Chief O’Brien instead to deactivate the holosuites.

    Meanwhile, while out together on the Promenade, Kira and Bashir get the strange sense that they are being followed by someone, or something.

    “Stretched Thin” - An outbreak of Lurian flu, which has no cure, just meds to treat symptoms, sweeps through the station, confining nearly everyone to quarters and reducing DS9 to a skeleton crew. Rom hears a rumor from a drunk Ferengi that a group of "most wanted" ne'er-do-wells is planning to take advantage of the outbreak to raid the station. When he tells Odo, the two unlikely partners work together to find out just what they're really after (not scrap metal and random junk, but something big) - Rom will hire on with them and Odo will accompany them posing as a tricorder. Meanwhile, Molly, who is unusually immune, takes care of her sick parents with a little help from Leeta.
