Kira, Odo, and Garak have swiped Worf from DS9 and headed into the battle, not realizing Nog is aboard. They end up getting their heads handed to them but this may have been a diversion as more Cardassian and Jem’Hadar forces attack the station. T’Prell is injured when Omega Squadron helps repel borders and goes into a healing trance. Both groups end up saved when the Romulans join in the fight on the side of the Alpha Quadrant, chasing the Dominion and their allies off. Decker still wants to take his son and Pava in while T’Prell recovers and Edam stays to help her recover. Meanwhile, the Enterprise-E is handling other Dominion forces.

I’m also not sure if Troi snapping at Pava is part of the event or a mistake of her character, or even part of the foreshadowing with T’Prell.
What did I think overall: It’s a weak part of the crossover but a good story on its own.
