Star Trek DS9 Episode 67 - The Die is Cast Pt. 2

So this story arc ended up being a lot more exciting than I expected. After agreeing to help the Romulans (in cahoots with the Cardassian, Obsidian Order) invade the Founders homeworld, Garak is ordered to torture Odo to get info on his species. Garak does it, reluctantly. Odo nearly dies in the process. It's a pretty brutal interrogation.

Soon the Obsidian/Romulan fleet arrives at the homeworld and they attack it. Suddenly, 150 Jem'Hadar ships appear and just decimate the fleet. The Obsidian Order is destroyed completely and the Romulans take a beating. Garak grabs Odo and escapes, but not before they run into a changeling that had been disguised as a Romluan ... the Founders knew the plan the entire time and lead the fleet into a trap.

Odo and Garak go back to DS9 and somehow remain friends. Which I don't understand. I mean Garak basically tricked Odo, kidnapped him and tortured him, how can Odo seemingly not care about that? Come to find out that Odo is way into sadomasochism.

67 down and 109 to go
