Past Tense, Part II

Inside the occupied processing centre, Sisko, posing as Gabriel Bell, keeps the hostages safe and demands that the authorities close the Sanctuary Districts and give people honest work. Dax slips away from Brynner's office through the sewers, but she is caught and held in the centre, where she reunites with Sisko and Bashir. She knows Brynner can open up the communications network so the residents can tell their stories to the world, the spark that turned public opinion. Aboard the Defiant, Kira and O'Brien beam down to several wrong eras before finally finding their friends. The governor rejects the demands and sends in the National Guard, who storm the centre and kill many residents. Sisko is wounded shielding a hostage. The team ensures that history will record Bell's death as it should, then return to the Defiant. The timeline is restored, with one change: the historical photograph of Gabriel Bell now shows Sisko's face.
