Worf and O'Brien are watching Dax play tongo against Quark and his Ferengi buddies. In spite of not knowing the game, Worf bets O'Brien that Dax will win the game and break Quark's winnng streak. Dax plays a strong hand, but Quark bests her. Worf greets Dax and says he'd rather lose betting on her than win on someone else. The next day, the couple are assigned to contact a Starfleet Intelligence operative in the badlands. They take the ''Shenandoah'' and head out.
On the way to the rendezvous, Dax talks about her plans for their honeymoon, and Worf accepts. Dax notes that Worf has become unusually agreeable lately, and Worf admits that he's been making an effort, but this nonetheless leads them into an argument. When they reach the transmission spot, the operative, a Cardassian double agent, Lasaran, contacts them and says he can give them the locations and assignments of every Changeling spy in the Alpha Quadrant, but he needs to abandon his post now or he'll be killed. After [[FantasticRacism insulting Worf]] a bit, he gives them a meeting spot to pick him up on the Dominion-occupied planet of Soukara.
Dax and Worf land on Soukara, a dense jungle, and head out on foot to the location. While camping, they listen to the sounds of local fauna mating with amusement until realizing that something is approaching. They hide and spy a squad of Jem'Hadar sweeping the area. Dax fires, and the pair gun down the Dominion soldiers, but not before Dax is hit. She's bleeding badly will need surgery to repair the weapon's anticoagulant, but that's not possible. She resolves to soldier on with bandages and painkillers.
While this is going on, O'Brien becomes obsessed with learning tongo himself and breaking Quark's record, purely for the [[ChallengeSeeker challenge of it]]. He recruits Bashir to play him and is soundly defeated, so he decides to coach Bashir to play Quark instead. The pair arrive with a small amount of latinum and talk their way into Quark's game. One by one the other Ferengi get knocked out until it's just Quark and Bashir. Quark starts to [[BreakThemByTalking needle Bashir]] about his failed romance with Dax and suggests that she was his only chance at true love. The distracted Bashir allows himself to go all in against Quark's unbeatable hand, losing the game. Distraught, Bashir asks if Quark really meant what he said, but Quark refuses to show "all his cards" before leaving with his winnings.

-->'''Worf:''' You were at my wedding. You heard the story of the first two Klingon hearts and how nothing could stand against them, and how they even destroyed the gods that created them. I have heard that story since I was a boy but I never understood it, I mean ''really'' understood it, until I was standing in the jungle with my heart pounding in my chest and I found that even I could not stand against my own heart. I had to go back and it did not matter what Starfleet thought or what the consequences were. She was my wife and I could not leave her.
