This was one of my favorite "Final Chapter" eps, almost solely for the scenes where Worf casually (and unexpectedly) breaks Weyoun's neck, much to Damar's amusement (was that twisted for a Star Trek show or what?). Damar's subsequent decision to spare Worf and Ezri and let them escape was also a pleasant surprise and gave some hope for an end to the Dominion War.

And if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun Nine") . It is extremely cathartic to see Damar finally "chuck the bottle" and switch sides against the Dominion (although Weyoun doesn't fully realize it yet), engaging in an act of defiance against them after becoming increasingly disgusted with the Dominion and his own cowardice.
