Stardate not given: Sisko expects Ezri to stay as the station's counselor, but the crew have difficulties to get accustomed to the new Dax host, and vice versa. While everyone gives her at least a warm welcome, Worf avoids Ezri, believing that to be friendly to her would dishonor his wife's memory. Sisko gives Ezri the task of helping Garak when he begins to have claustrophobic attacks. When her work seems to fail, she is about to resign from Starfleet, but she eventually finds out the true reason for Garak's claustrophobia, that he feels like he is betraying his people. After talking to Worf, Ezri decides to stay.
