Bashir learns that, short of resetting the simulation, Frankie can only be eliminated by means that are appropriate to the 1960s Las Vegas setting.
Since resetting the program would result in Vic forgetting all the experiences he has shared with the crew of Deep Space Nine, they recruit their friends and crewmates to defeat Frankie within the structure of the simulation.
Although Captain Benjamin Sisko initially dislikes the program, citing the pervasive racism against Black people in the real 1960s Las Vegas, his girlfriend Kasidy Yates eventually persuades him to participate.
Sisko will pose as a high roller to draw attention away from the count room; Yates will start a dispute with O'Brien to distract the security guard; Ezri Dax, posing as a waitress, will bring the accountant in the count room a drugged martini, forcing him to leave the safe unattended; and Nog will crack the safe.
After Zeemo finds the safe empty, his thugs lead Frankie and Cicci out of the casino—and Vic's lounge is restored to the way it was originally.
