* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Cardassian weapon platforms are nearly impervious to attack, but are being fed power from a central source. O'Brien uses some sensor trickery to make them fire on it, turning them into little more than floating metal once their power source is gone.

* CurbStompBattle: {{Zigzagged}}. When the allied ships reach Chin'toka before the weapon platforms are online, they easily destroy the platforms. Then the platforms activate and begin tearing into the allied ships--until O'Brien tricks them into destroying their power source, at which point they go dead. TheAlliance then easily takes Chin'toka.

The Federation Alliance goes on its first major offensive against the Dominion since the retaking of [=DS9=]: the taking of the Dominion shipyards in the Chin'toka system. Meanwhile, Dukat returns to Cardassia Prime with a plan of his own - one that he believes will not only allow the Dominion to again use the wormhole, but will strike a blow against the Emissary as well.
