This Story: Season 7 Episode 17 (production code 567)
DS9 Overall: Episode 167
Trek Overall: Story 424, Episode 448
Airdate: 5 Apr 1999
Writer: René Ecchevaria

Notes
- The first of a ten episode arc that closes out the Dominion War and Deep Space Nine as a series. As far as I know it’s not intended to be a single story with ten parts to it, but it is very tightly wound together (ala Babylon 5), so watching these out of order would be near impossible. On original broadcast, they were advertised as “The Final Chapter“.
- Michelle Horn (Saghi) previously appeared in the episode “Tears of the Prophets” (as the same character).
- Ben Sisko decides he will live on Bajor during his retirement from the Federation and has purchased land there. This follows up on his declaration of wanting to build a house in “Favor the Bold“.
- The events of “Rejoined” are referenced here relative to Worf and Ezri getting together.
- The only reference to the Son’a race (From Insurrection) in any TV series happens in this episode.
