It's time for the [[OnceASeason annual]] Mirror Universe episode! This time, Quark gets a visit from Mirror Ezri, who tells him that Grand Nagus Zek is in the alternate universe, and he has been kidnapped by the Alliance. Quark has to provide Regent Worf with a cloaking device, and in return he'll free the Nagus. However, Quark doesn't trust the Regent to keep his word, so he and Rom travel with Ezri to the Mirror Universe to make sure the Nagus gets back home.
to:
Quark and Rom
They all arrive at Regent Worf's flagship and deliver the cloaking device. Worf backs out on their deal and frees Intendent Kira from the ship's brig as payment for thinking up the idea. He tosses the two Ferengi in the brig to be killed later. Kira welcomes Ezri back with a kiss. Brunt criticizes Kira for betraying the Ferengi, so she stabs him, which shocks Ezri. In the brig, Zek admits that he stole Rom's data PADD to get the schematics of the interdimensional transporter. On the bridge, Worf orders that the cloaking device be installed and sets out to find the ''Defiant''. But Garak and company can't figure out how to install the device. Ezri recruit Rom to installs it on hopes of getting the Ferengi freed, but upon completion, Worf orders the prisoners' execution.
Garak prepares to kill the prisoners with painful poison, but the Ferengi taunt him for not interrogating him first for all of their valuable information. As they stall for time, Worf finds the ''Defiant'' and ambushes it, but when he tries to fire, he finds that his ship completely helpless due to Rom's sabotage. Worf delivers the Alliance's unconditional surrender to save his own hide. With the brig force fields now down, the Ferengi attack Garak. He manages to fight them off until Ezri surprises him and injects him with his own poison. Kira confronts them, but she and Ezri decide to lower their phasers and let the other go. Ezri then leads the group to her ship, and they all hightail it to the Alliance. The Mirror version of Leeta arrives to debrief Ezri, and the two share a seductive smirk as they leave. The Ferengi are all agree that it's time to go home.
