A fleet of Klingon ships under the command of General Martok decloaks around the station, supposedly to counter the threat of the Dominion. But Sisko suspects there is more going on, and calls in some unique help to get to the bottom of things.
to:
A fleet task force of Klingon ships under the command of commanded by [[BadAss General Martok]] camps out around [=DS9=] to await a potential Dominion incursion through the wormhole. Tensions rise as the Klingons throw their weight around: a gang of them beats up Garak, and Klingon ships begin boarding and searching other vessels for changelings without cause. Captain Sisko decides that the best way to handle Klingons is with another Klingon, so he sends for Lieutenant Commander Worf. Worf challenges Martok decloaks by slapping around his son, and learns that Sisko's suspicions are correct: there's something else going on which Martok suggests could determine the future of the Klingon empire.
Worf convinces a friend of his father to tell him the whole story: the Klingons believe Cardassia has undergone a Dominion-engineered coup, so they are preparing to invade Cardassia themselves. The Federation opposes the move, but Chancellor Gowron and the Klingon High Council go ahead despite the harm it could cause to the Federation-Klingon alliance.
Sisko "accidentally" lets Garak overhear a discussion about the attack, so he can pass the information along to the Cardassians. It seems the Klingon fears of Dominion influence are unwarranted. The Federation condemns the attack, so the Klingons end their peace treaty with the Federation. Gowron arrives at the station and invites Worf to join him, but Worf refuses to abandon his Starfleet post, so Gowron strips his family of their lands and honors.
Sisko contacts Dukat (now military advisor to the new civilian government of Cardassia) and offers to help him get the Cardassian council members to safety. After a large battle, they get the council on board the Defiant and head for home, pursued by a large Klingon fleet. This brings us to an impressive battle sequence as the station (armed with 5000 photon torpedoes plus other weapons) holds off the Klingons until reinforcements arrive.
The Klingons back off, but make it clear that they do ''not'' forgive and forget. Worf goes through some soul-searching, but decides to stay in Starfleet and becomes [=DS9's=] new Strategic Operations officer.

!This episode provides examples of:
* WhamEpisode: Worf arrives on the station and the camera pans up from his feet to his face. His character develops much more deeply on this show than it could on [=TNG=], and the show itself takes a more serious, arc-based direction at about this point. This is when the scope of the show expands to include all the familiar powers of the Alpha Quadrant, and it puts us on notice that anything can happen to the political situation between them.
