Notes

• Jake Sisko does not appear again.
• In a scene where Dukat & Sisko are talking about the orphaned children, there’s a star chart in the background that was clearly shown in Remmick’s office in TNG’s “Conspiracy“.
• There is a novel (called “The Never Ending Sacrifice“) which details Rugal’s life after this episode.  It is of course non canonical, but makes for a good followup to this episode.
• The first time Gul Dukat visited Deep Space Nine since the pilot (although he appeared on screens a couple of times).
• The second appearance of Garak in the series.
• The first time the Cardassian name for DS9 was ever used – Terek Nor.
