Matters get out of hand when a fight erupts between O'Brien and a Jem'Hadar soldier in the Space Station. The situation worsens when Jem'Hadar soldiers shoot a Romulan officer. In the end, Sisko decides to take matters into his own hands and goes to the point of trying to collapse the wormhole.

While Odo comes to terms with an amazing discovery about his past, Kira attempts to contact Sisko and the others. They also find a locked and bolted door (now on a planet of shapeshifters who needs a locked door?) Kira and Odo bust down the door to find some Dominion goons and more shapeshifters. Could these be the so called ``Founders''?
