The problems of Bajor intrude big time on the operations of the space station in
this season 2 opener. There's a nativist group causing trouble on the planet and
they keep putting up threatening graffiti on the station to let the Federation know, not too subtly they want all foreigners out. The provisional government
looks like it might fall.
That is when Nana Visitor gets word that a long supposed dead Bajoran hero of the resistance is really still being held by the Cardassians at a labor camp. With Avery Brooks's unofficial blessing she and Colm Meaney rescue him and several other prisoners.
Her work rescuing Richard Beymer didn't quite get the results she wanted. The Bajoran prime minister Michael Bell who is a real piece of work gets her recalled to Bajor and Beymer in her job at DS9. He fears Beymer's popularity might also be a threat to his position,
This episode and for the rest of the series run we got more and more involved in Bajoran and Cardassian politics and culture. As for Beymer he levels with Avery Brooks in that his heroism was not quite as heroic as legend has made it out. But when the legend becomes fact.................................
