Stardate not given: Jake has accompanied Bashir to a medical conference, to do a profile on the doctor for a magazine.

Under the pressure, he does the unthinkable – he breaks down and runs, just when he is needed most. Afterwards Jake must face his guilt and shame, and learn where the fine line between courage and cowardice is.

Stardate not given: Dax and Worf are going to Risa for a vacation and to work out some kinks in their relationship. They are accompanied by Leeta and Bashir, who are going in order to enact the Bajoran Rite of Separation, and by Quark, who is eager for some “jamaharon.” Worf, displeased with Dax’s refusal to take their relationship as seriously as he would like, and disapproving of the pleasure-seeking Risian lifestyle, is attracted by the words of Fullerton, leader of a movement seeking to restore traditional Federation morals and culture, who plans to shut down Risa by any means necessary.

Stardate not given: Odo is escorting Quark to a hearing of the Federation Grand Jury, when Quark finds a bomb on the runabout. Odo is able to channel most of the explosion into the transporter buffer, but it still causes the runabout to crash-land on a mountainous, cold planet. With the subspace booster damaged, they have to get the transmitter up high enough to send a signal off planet…if they don’t kill each other first. Also, Nog returns to DS9 as a second-year cadet for field study, and moves in with Jake, only to find that it’s not as easy to live together as they had thought.
