Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) prepares for Zhian'tara, the Trill Rite of Closure. During the ritual, the memories of each of Dax's previous hosts will be transferred into someone else's body so that Jadzia may come to better understand them and herself better. Complications arise when Jadzia meets with Joran, the mentally unstable host who preceded Curzon and once committed murder. But no one suspects that it is Curzon himself who will cause the most problems. However, once his mind and memories are transferred into Odo's (Rene Auberjonois) body, Sisko's crafty old mentor reveals that he has no intention of giving it up.
 Editor's Note
 Jadzia Dax must come to terms with feelings of insecurity as she prepared for her zhian'tara, an ancient Trill ritual through which she will encounter her symbiont's past hosts. The ritual is performed with the help of Sisko, Kira, Bashir, Odo, Quark, O'Brien, and Leeta, whom all volunteer to serves as temporary vessels for the memories of past hosts. But when some of the past hosts take a liking to the present, Jadzia Dax must face her deepest fears in order to restore balance. Originally televised 6/12/95.
