[edit] Plot summary

In the previous episode, Damar helped Ezri Dax and Worf escape execution in Cardassia, while Anjohl Tennan (Dukat) convinced Winn Adami to walk the path of the Pah-wraiths.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Breen attack San Francisco. Starfleet Headquarters and the Golden Gate Bridge are damaged in the attack

Solbor reluctantly brings Winn the book of the Kosst-amonjen, but to her surprise, the pages of the book are blank. It isn't until Winn kills Solbor that his blood makes the text of the book visible.

In a major battle with the combined forces of the Breen, Cardassians and Jem'Haddar, the USS Defiant is destroyed. The female shapeshifter allows the escape pods to be rescued, reasoning that the survivors will have a demoralizing effect on their comrades.

Damar announces that Cardassia will revolt against the Dominion.
