Dax invites Sisko, Odo, O'Brien, Kira, Quark, Leeta and Bashir to be part of her Zhian'tara, the Trill rite of closure. In the ritual joined Trills get the chance of meeting their previous hosts. Their memories will temporarily be imprinted in the bodies of her friends. They all agree to take part and Sisko is asked to host the memories of Joran, the musician turned killer. Dax's meeting with Joran is rather unpleasant and makes her think about herself. She now desperately wants to ask a question to Curzon. Meanwhile Nog is practicing hard in a shuttle simulator. He plans on doing a Preparatory Programme that will allow him joining Starfleet Academy. Chief O'Brien will test him for four days, but not everything is going according to plan.
