The week-long national syndication window opens for the 161st episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This murder mystery episode anticipates many elements of the CSI television franchise, which didn’t premiere until the following year. 
Stardate not given: A young lieutenant is killed in his quarters on DS9, and Ezri is assigned to use forensic psychology to aid in the investigation. After she has a vision of Joran, a murderous former host of Dax, another murder occurs, and Ezri turns to Joran for help, using a Trill ritual to enable her to interact with him as a separate being. Can Ezri use Joran’s intimate knowledge of how and why a killer kills to her advantage, or will she be swept away by his sinister urgings?
