Star Trek DS9 Episode 170 - The Changing Face of Evil

"The war reaches a crucial turning point when the Dominion retakes the Chin'Toka system, the only Allied foothold in enemy space. Meanwhile, Winn learns that Dukat plans to release the Pah-Wraiths, and Damar leads a revolt against the Dominion."

The episode begins with Sisko finding out that the Breen attacked Earth and destroyed San Francisco. Unless I missed something, they never actually showed this. It would have been an incredibly dramatic scene, but maybe they felt strange about showing a U.S. city being destroyed?? I don't know.

There is a huge battle and the Defiant is destroyed. Meanwhile "Dukat" convinces Winn to get him some powerful Bajoran book that while give him powers or something, again I don't know. She eventually figures out his secret.

Damar sends a message that the Cardassians will be fighting against the Dominion. He proves their intent by destroying the Vorta cloning facility meaning no more Wayoun's. Bashir and Ezri have weird tension now. Worf is jealous and he keeps saying how Bashir plays with action figures because Julian has been building a model of the Alamo. The episode ends with Sisko about to join forces with Damar.

170 down and 6 to go
