While Sisko ponders Sarah's warning that he must not marry Kasidy, Kai Winn arrives aboard the station, intent on conducting the wedding herself (whether Sisko likes it or not). He wisely decides not to tell her about the Prophets' warning, much less that he's considering ignoring it. Later Winn has a long-awaited vision -- evidently from the Prophets -- telling her that "the Sisko has faltered" and that she has a significant part to play in the Restoration of Bajor. She is told that she will be sent a guide -- a
"man of the land". A short while later, a surgically-altered Dukat arrives aboard the station.
Sisko breaks the news to Kasidy that he has to call off their wedding. He can't go against the will of the Prophets. Kasidy is devastated and prepares to leave the station. Meanwhile, Winn meets with Anjohl Tanan --Dukat masquerading as a Bajoran farmer. Dukat pulls all the right chords and Winn immediately recognises that this "man of the land" is the guide sent her by the Prophets. Dukat proceeds to win her trust, pulling her strings like a puppet.
Ezri and Worf are being held captive aboard a Breen ship, having to endure horrendous interrogations. This gives them a chance to re-evaluate their feelings. "I thought I had lost [Jadzia] forever...but you and I will have many years together." Ezri says nothing, but shifts uncomfortably. Evidently Worf is confusing his feeling for Jadzia with his feelings for her. Back on the station, Kira tells Sisko that he's doing the right thing by adhering to Sarah's warning. But Sisko isn't so sure -- he decides that this is his life and he wants to spend it with Kasidy. He catches up with her just before she leaves the station and informs her of his decision. The wedding ceremony itself is abrupt and unexpected -- a quiet little gathering in the wardroom, the ceremony performed by Admiral Ross. Sarah again appears to Ben, warning him that this is a mistake. She accepts his decision, but is deeply worried -- "Be careful, my son."
Back aboard the Breen ship, amid a fevered dream caused by the Breen mind probe Ezri lets slip that she is in love with Bashir. Worf is enraged and Ezri herself is surprised, never having realised her feelings. Along with their captors, they are beamed aboard a Jem'Hadar warship, where they are met by Weyoun and Damar. The Breen present their prisoners to Weyoun as gifts. "You should be honoured," Weyoun tells them. "You are witnessing a historic moment: the birth of the alliance between the Dominion and the Breen. Changes everything, doesn't it?"
