| Summary: | A group of Trill scientists, led by Dr. Lenara Kahn, comes to Deep Space Nine, using the Starship Defiant to conduct experiments. Lenara is a joined Trill who, while her symbiont was joined to a previous host body, was married to one of Dax's former male hosts, Torias. Dax, believing that she can control any feelings she may still have for her former wife, decides to meet with Lenara. Despite the fact that the penalty for "reassociation" with lovers from past lives is exile from the Trill homeworld and the eventual death of the symbiont when the host dies, the two have dinner together. As their relationship develops, they must decide if they will destroy their future to stay together. |
