The week-long national syndication window opens for the 140th episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. William Sadler (Roswell, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey) guest stars. This episode introduces the Starfleet black ops division, Section 31, which becomes a recurring feature in the Star Trek mythos, reappearing in Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Discovery (and the Section 31 spinoff movie), and even the 2013 movie Star Trek: Into Darkness. 
Stardate not given: Bashir is planning to leave for a medical conference, but instead is confined to quarters along with the other officers due to an inquiry led by Deputy Director Sloan of Starfleet Internal Affairs. Sloan centers his investigation around Bashir, whom he accuses of spying for the Dominion – reporting to them while suppressing the memories of doing so. Despite his insistence that he has no such memories, Bashir is arrested and subjected to mounting pressure as his past actions are cast in a sinister light by Sloan.
