* HeinousnessRetcon: Joran, the secret former host of the Dax symbiont, whilst always a murderer and presented as psychologically unstable. As presented here, he was a regular killer with only one victim, someone he had a motive to kill. In all his later appearances he has more victims and is full-blown deranged, with even Quark somehow knowing it. To the point that Ezri summons him to help her get an insight into the mind of a psycho when there is a SerialKiller loose on the station.



** Curzon Dax fell out of a tree once, and as a result, Jadzia is uncomfortable with heights.

Out of options, Dax and company visit the Guardians, who care for hostless symbionts in the Caves of Mak'ala. A Guardian named Timor asks about Dax's "dreams," and she states that they're more like memories. He hypothesizes that the problem stems from one of her previous hosts. Back on the ship, Sisko has discovered that the piece of music in Dax's head was written by Joran Belar. His picture causes Dax to hallucinate the masked man killing a Trill doctor. In reality, Dax collapses.

With Dax's condition worsening and rejection imminent, Sisko and Bashir return to Timor, but he's suddenly become very unhelpful and fearful. Researching more about Joran, they discover that his file was mysteriously wiped, but he happened to die on the same day as Torias Dax. They get in touch with Joran's brother, who recalls that Joran was a symbiont initiate with a violent temper who killed the doctor who rejected him and was then killed while fleeing. They hypothesize that Joran somehow acquired the Dax symbiont from Torias before he died.

Dr. Renhol makes the call to sacrifice Jadzia and place her Dax symbiont in a new host, but Sisko and Bashir stop her by confronting her on the discovery they've made that could tear Trill society apart. Joran Belar did steal Torias's symbiont for himself and live as Joran Dax for six months in spite of being deemed an unsuitable candidate. This means that the Symbiosis Commission's claim that only a small percentage of Trillians are suitable hosts is a lie. The Commission installed memory blockers to hide all evidence of Joran Dax, but now those blockers are degrading and threaten to reveal the secret. Renhol admits that almost half of Trillians could survive as hosts, but such knowledge going public could sow chaos throughout Trill.

Sisko forces Renhol to let Dax decide whether to allow the memory blockers to fade completely and attempt to acclimate to Joran's chaotic presence in her mind. Dax goes to the Caves of Mak'ala and wades into the birthing pools. An image of Joran emerges from the pool, and Dax welcomes him to become a part of her. They embrace, and Joran's image merges with her. Back on the station, Sisko checks in on Dax, who notes Bashir has already done the same. After assuring the commander that she is OK, Dax sits down and begins playing Joran's song.
