Notes
- The third appearance of Dukat’s daughter Ziyal, although now played by Tracy Middendorf. It was her only appearance in the role as her next appearance has someone else in the role.
- The reference to the Tholian ambassador and his punctuality is a reference to the TOS episode “The Tholian Web“.
- The first of a loose trilogy of episodes regarding Eddington’s defection to the Maquis. The other two are “For the Uniform” & “Blaze of Glory“.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 94 - For the Cause - 6 May 1996 2/2 pretty comfortable. There's a B plot with Garak being interested in Dukat's daughter who is living on DS9 that has some amusing dialogue. In the end Eddington defects to the Maquis setting up future stories. Good ep.
