"Improbable Cause"/"The Die is Cast" Line-by-Line
- Thread starter CoveTom
- Start date
LOVOK: There's no way out of here, Garak. The Jem'Hadar have cut us off. We need to consolidate the fleet and make our stand here.
TAIN: How could this be? What has happened?
TAIN: What?
PILOT: Main power's out. Switching to emergency backups.
LOVOK: Bridge to Engineering. We need power to the weapons. Bridge to Engineering, respond. I'll be in Engineering. Tain, take command of the Bridge.
(In corridor)
ODO: I take it that the attack on the Founders is not proceeding according to plan.
ODO: I take it that the attack on the Founders is not proceeding according to plan.
GARAK: No, it's not, but I suggest we make our way to the runabout.
ODO: For once, Garak, I agree with you.
(Lovok hands Odo a padd)
ODO: Why are you doing this?
ODO: Why are you doing this?
Question: If Lovok was letting Odo go because no Changeling has ever harmed another, or in this case through inaction allowed harm to come to another, why did he not order Jem'Hadar not to fire on the runabout?
GARAK: You are one of the Founders?
GARAK: You are one of the Founders?
^ That's the biggest plot hole of the episode, also that Lovok would allow Odo to be tortured is a significant plot hole too. He's allowing Odo to be harmed by sitting around and doing nothing.
Odo: Of course, this whole plan was the Founders idea in the first place. You wanted the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order to combine forces and come into the Gamma Quadrant so you could wipe them out.

Kind of similar to how "In Purgatory's Shadow" suggested Bashir had been replaced by a Changeling during the previous four episodes, meaning this Changeling performed surgery on Sisko and was at Kira's false labor. Maybe so he didn't blow his cover before the time came to carry out his mission.
ODO: But not after today.
For that I just decided that Bashir brought the old uniform with him to the conference where he was abducted. He was abducted while asleep, so they had to bring clothes for him.
For the Uniform stated it would take 2 weeks to repair the Defiant and she's good to go by that In Purgatory's Shadow, and who know show much time They were in the badlands hunting Eddington. And how much space between that and In Purgatory's shadow. I tend to believe the abduction took place very soon after the Birth of Kirayoshi and the restoration of Odo's powers.
Back to the line by line:
Lovok: After today, the only real threats to us from the Alpha Quadrant are the Klingons and the Federation. And I doubt either one of them will be a threat for much longer. It's not too late for you, Odo. Come with me. You can still become one with the Great Link if you wish.
