When three ageing Klingons arrive on DS9 Dax is pleased to see these old friends... even if they knew Dax when he was Curzon. The four old friends have old business to settle; eighty years before they swore a blood oath to hunt down the man who killed the Klingons' first born sons, one of whom was Dax's godson; after all these years they have finally learnt where their enemy, the Albino is. Two of the Klingons are keen for Jadzia to join them arguing that she is not bound by Curzon's oath. She however is determined that she will go with them and that any attempt to stop her insults Dax's honour. She eventually learns why she wasn't wanted; the one who had found their enemy's location had met him and was looking to die in one last glorious battle. Even knowing this Dax is determined to go. When Commander Sisko learns of her plans he refuses to give her leave but she states that she will go anyway and live with the consequences. When they get to the Albino's hideout it is clear that he has no plans for a fair fight, luckily the four heroes have a few ideas about how to even the odds. Once it is all over Dax will have to live with the fact that she was part of a killing, not because she was caught in a deadly situation but because she actively chose to be there.
This was a good episode where Terry Farrell excelled as Jadzia Dax and John Colicos put in a fine performance as the Klingon Kor, a man with a sense of fun and a liking of a drink or three. The moral questions about the nature of revenge were dealt with well and Dax's unspoken demeanour at the end showed that she would have to live with the consequences of her action.
