Bareil and Intendant Kira are overs, but that's easier said than done.Bareil has become conflicted and refuses to go to bed with her. Drowning his sorrows, Bareil goes to Quark's and brushes off the Ferengi's proposed scheme to pass him off as a holy man. Later, Quark bumps into Kira and notes how tortured Bareil is, having seen him lingering around the Bajoran temple for a while after leaving the bar.

But Intendent Kira gets the drop on her. She mocks Major Kira for not seeing Bareil as the scoundrel he is. But when the Intendent demands that Bareil confirm it, he stuns her instead. Bareil tells Major Kira that he's going to return to the Mirror Universe with the Intendent and talk his way back into her good graces. He reveals that his orb vision depicted him and Major Kira living on Bajor happily, but he's decided that his nature would eventually ruin their domestic bliss, and he'd rather that not happen.

* BigEater: Mirror Bareil, seemingly used to very little food, eats almost constantly while on Deep Space 9, even grabbing a biscuit to munch on after taking Kira hostage. By contrast, Kira notes that Vedek Bareil only ate two meals a day.

When Worf catches the tail end of the remark and asks what she's talking about, Jadzia tells him not to be nosy. Later, immediately after chiding Bashir for wanting to know how Kira's evening with Bareil went, Jadzia asks about it herself.


Added DiffLines:

* TheStarscream: To no great surprise, the Intendant schemes about rallying an army to wage war on the Alliance. Much like the TropeNamer, [[SmugSnake her ability to follow through on such schemes is a bit lacking]].


Added DiffLines:

* {{Touche}}: After Worf calls bullshit on Bareil's story about stealing a Klingon's mek'leth without him noticing, Bareil produces Worf's own mek'leth and uses it to cut the dessert. Worf admits that Bareil's a better thief than he gave credit for and pours Bareil another cup of bloodwine.
