As The Twig is Bent
Ben begins wondering if he made a mistake taking command of the station, and joining Star Fleet in general. He daydreams of what it would have been like to live a simpler life. Perhaps working in his father’s restaurant.
He discusses it with Dax who points out that if he had never joined Star fleet, he would have never have met Curzon, or his wife; and never would have had Jake.
Still unsure, he retired to his quarters, where he has a vision. In this vision, people he knows are speaking to him, but it is not them. They seem distant and other-worldly. They tell him “The Sisko is exactly where he is supposed to be.”
“The Sisko must remain in Bajor.”
When he awakes, he realizes he has important work to do for Bajor.
Meanwhile, Julian and Quark attempt to out-hustle a Ferengi who comes to the station to try his hand at poker.
