Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Ties Of Blood And Water

The week-long national syndication window opens for the 115th episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Stardate 50712.5: Kira is delighted by a visit from former Legate Tekeny Ghemor, the Cardassian who once mistakenly believed her to be his daughter, until she learns he is dying. In keeping with Cardassian tradition, he wants to pass on his secrets to be used against his enemies, secrets that could prove damaging to the new Cardassian/Dominion alliance – and which Gul Dukat hopes to prevent from coming to light, as Kira struggles against memories of the death of her own father.
