What a weird episode. So O'Brien is at a conference on some planet. Next thing you know he is back on the ship and he is becoming paranoid because everybody is talking behind is back and Sisko is giving him pointless work. At one point Sisko and Kira confront him with phasers while Bashir tries to inject him with a sedative. O'Brien manages to escape DS9 on a runabout and make his way to back to the planet where all of this began. All the time being followed by another runabout.
On the planet he is confronted by Sisko and Kira. Suddenly the door opens and in walks .... another Miles O'Brien! It seems as if we had been watching the entire episode through the eyes of the Miles clone. A rebel faction had created this clone to assassinate a delegate. In the end he is shot and killed.

This is when I remember DS9 getting really good. What a great story. I love this one.
This is also the kind of episode you could only do this late in the run of the Trek franchise, since it kind of subverts the expectations from seeing other episodes that are similar to this plot. How many episodes have there been where a lone member of the crew is pitted against the crew? This was a clever twist.
That plot is used many times. This one was just clever enough to be different. If only there were two more O'Brien's then I can use my joke, "I can see four Miles and Miles and Miles and Miles and Miles"
It's too bad you never got to use that joke.
It's also too bad in that Q episode from a few seasons ago you didn't sing that song "Q are you... Q Q Q Q?!!"
