| Stardate Unknown While traveling in a runabout, Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) and Kira (Nana Visitor) respond to a distress call from a disabled Kobliad ship. When they beam over, Bashir is attacked by an injured passenger - a murderer named Rao Vantaka (James Harper), who suddenly dies. Back aboard Deep Space Nine, the Kobliad security officer Ty Kajada (Caitlin Bloom) insists on an autopsy to prove Vantika, who has a history of faking his own demise, is truly dead. Meanwhile, the crew determines that Vantika was probably coming to the station to hi-jack a freighter carrying deuridium, a rare substance that prolongs Kobliad life. When Odo (René Auberjonois) tries to implement a security plan to protect the ship, he discovers that the station computers memory has been purged. The crew is now convinced that Vantaka may be hiding in someone else's brain - and so the hunt for the passenger begins. | |

Later Odo escorts Croden back to his home planet to stand trial. En route, Ah-Kel attacks their Runabout and they are forced to land on the asteroid where the shape-shifters supposedly live. Now Odo may finally get the chance to meet others like himself! | |
