"O'Brien, Garak, Nog and an engineering team go to Deep Space Nine's abandoned sister space station, Empok Nor, to salvage components. The away team soon discover that all is not as it seems."
While on Empok Nor they are confronted by a handful of crazed Cardassian soldiers. They are rather easily killed with the help of Garak. But, soon Garak starts getting crazed himself. He acts paranoid and starts getting super aggressive. Evidently there is some sort of Cardassian super-drug in the environment that causes Cardassians to become sort of alpha-male-ish. Garak eventually kills one of the Starfleet engineering team members and then takes Nog hostage. O'Brien overloads a phaser and causes it to explode next to Garak knocking him out cold.
They are make it back to DS9 and Garak is treated. O'Brien tells him that there will be a hearing, but that he will be fine because he was not in control. This happens a lot in Star Trek. An officer gets "influenced" somehow and kills a person, but they are never held accountable. Seems crappy.

It's funny. You're right that "infected by alien disease / under mind control" is a get out of jail free clause on Star Trek.
It's such a crappy judicial system. It's like using the "possessed by the devil" defense nowadays. Hmmm, I didn't even realize nowadays was a word, spell check didn't flag it...
nowadays
You're right.
