Facets

Jadzia prepares for the zhian'tara, a Trill rite in which the memories of a symbiont's previous hosts are placed temporarily in other people, so the current host can meet them face to face. Her friends volunteer: Kira becomes Lela, O'Brien the shy Tobin, Leeta the gymnast Emony, Quark the mother Audrid, and Bashir the daring pilot Torias. Sisko takes on Joran, the murderous host, who attacks Jadzia before Sisko regains control. Jadzia is most anxious about Curzon, who once had her thrown out of the initiate programme. Odo hosts him, and at first Curzon will not explain himself, leaving Jadzia devastated. When she confronts him, he admits he rejected her because he had fallen in love with her. Reassured that he remains part of her, Curzon departs. Meanwhile, Nog fails a Starfleet Academy entrance test until Rom discovers that Quark sabotaged it and threatens to burn down the bar. Nog retakes the test and passes.
