Opaka dies in the landing, which devastates Kira; however, her mourning is interrupted by a group of people called the Ennis, led by Golin Shel-la (Jonathan Banks).
Many of the Ennis are killed fending off the attack, but after the battle, Kai Opaka enters the cave, resuscitated by some form of nanotechnology that pervades the moon.
As Deep Space Nine officers Dax and O'Brien search for the group, Sisko gets the Ennis and Nol-Ennis to agree to meet in an effort to negotiate peace.
Meanwhile, the conflict between the groups reminds Kira of her own trauma, which she discusses with Opaka: years of fighting the Cardassians on Bajor have taken their toll on her and she has known nothing but violence since she was a child.
Club called the episode frustrating and promising, but that it is "filled with a lot of bland angry people, one that keeps hinting at more interesting directions, but never having the courage to follow them.
