Resurrection ( episode ) An alternate version of Vedek Bareil arrives from the " Mirror Universe " seeking refuge . Summary . Teaser . Major Kira and Dax are heading to Ops , discussing who Kira will bring to the dinner Dax invited her to . Dax makes several suggestions including Captain Boday , all of whom Kira rejects , mostly because they have obvious non - humanoid characteristics . Dax then suggests she invite Odo , but Kira would prefer to pretend she never even brought that idea up and insists she ' ll be coming to dinner alone . Shortly after they arrive and Dax despairs over Kira ' s " pickiness " , O ' Brien detects an unusual transporter signal . A man appears on the transporter , huddled as if hurt . When Kira approaches , he reveals a disruptor and the fact that he seems to be Vedek Bareil . Act One . Bareil takes Kira hostage and demands a ship . Captain Sisko alerts security of a hostage situation and directs Bareil to Landing Pad A . Bareil grabs a piece of food and then informs Kira that they will be walking rather than taking the turbolift . On the way , Bareil mentions that he doesn ' t recognize Kira ' s uniform and asks about the Alliance . Kira informs him that there is no Alliance and Bareil confirms to himself that he has actually crossed over . Kira continues to serve as his hostage until they reach the landing pad where she reveals that she doesn ' t believe he ' s dangerous because his disruptor isn ' t functional . After physically subduing him , Odo and some security guards emerge from the airlock and take him into custody . In a holding cell , Kira interrogates him . He confirms that his name is and expresses interest in meeting " himself " . Kira informs him that his counterpart is dead , and Bareil deduces that Kira was close to him . Kira questions how he got an interdimensional transporter , but Bareil brushes off the question and tells her he is just a run - down thief looking for a better life , which led him to this universe . Act Two . Later in his office , Captain Sisko expresses disbelief that Kira doesn ' t want to press charges . Kira tells him that she feels bad for him and understands his feelings given her previous experience with the mirror universe . Captain Sisko changes his tone and warns her that she has a difficult situation in front of her , and relays his experience when the mirror Jennifer Sisko visited . Kira assures him that the differences between the Bareils are sharp enough for her to maintain distance . Later , Bareil is walking the Promenade trying to dodge the stares of virtually all of the passers - by . He sees Kira and calls out to her , thanking her for giving him a break . He mentions the staring crowd and Kira explains how much of a popular public figure Vedek Bareil was . Bareil resigns himself to the attention and thanks her again . When she is going to temple , Bareil declines to enter . Kira accepts his hesitance , but is then surprised when he comes in partway through the ceremony . He explains that he needs a new start and the Prophet s may be able to help . After the ceremony , Kira asks his opinion and he says he envies her faith but feels that he has lived too long without it to ever be as invested . Kira encourages him to think about it more . When he mentions he doesn ' t really have plans , Kira invites him to dinner . At dinner , Bareil entertains Dax and Kira with a story of how he outwitted a Klingon guard and stole a Mek ' leth in an escape . Worf is much less amused and expresses doubt that Bareil could have stolen a Mek ' leth from a Klingon warrior , whereupon Bareil produces Worf ' s own Mek ' leth to cut the dessert , and hands it back to him , which impresses the Klingon . After dinner , Kira invites him back to her quarters . Act Three . Waking up together , Bareil jokes with Kira about how confused she must be . Kira reiterates that she knows the difference between the two Bareils and describes her version of him . She is surprised when Bareil is able to finish one of the Vedek ' s quotes , and he admits he did some research . In Ops , Dr . Bashir hand delivers a report to Dax that could have easily been transmitted . When Dax accuses him of hanging around purely for gossip ' s sake , he only makes a token objection . When Kira appears she gives a brief , uninformative description of Bareil , though she shares a knowing look with Dax once the doctor has left . Later , Bareil is pacing in the temple with Kira , nervous because of his impending Orb experience . Kira assures him he has nothing to worry about . The Vedek eventually arrives and welcomes Bareil before leading him to the Orb . Bareil carefully observes as the Vedek turns off the Force field , then moves forward and looks into the orb . At the Replimat afterward , Bareil looks dazed and introspective . He tries to put his feelings into words but is having trouble , which Kira assures him is normal . He begins describing what he saw , but Kira gets uncomfortable and tells him that the visions he saw should remain private . He says he feels as if he could sleep for days and Kira encourages him to rest . When he arrives at his quarters , he is greeted by the Intendant . Act Four . The Intendant asks him how their plan is progressing and Bareil tells her everything is fine . Upon discovering that he has become involved with the other Kira , the Intendant is ecstatic and asks him to compare them . He praises the other Kira ' s virtues over hers and she briefly becomes angry , but then consoles herself by berating Bareil and reminding him that Kira is too good for him . She asks him if stealing the Orb is going to present a problem and he tells her it won ' t be . She reminds him that with the Orb they can unite and he will be the next best thing to a king . She questions why he isn ' t more excited and he explains that he is tired from looking into the orb . Later , Bareil is drinking in Quark ' s Bar and snaps at the staring crowd . Quark backs him up and starts chatting about his resemblance to Vedek Bareil . Bareil recognizes that Quark is leading up to a business proposition , and lets him outline his dubious scheme . Bareil rejects it and says that he has dealt with men like Quark his whole life and that right now he doesn ' t like neither him nor himself very much . In a cargo bay , Quark arrives to pick up a shipment and sees Kira checking inventory . He starts chatting about Bareil and says that while he approves of their pairing , he notices Bareil is different from the men she usually picks . Kira starts to dismiss him , but Quark warns her that Bareil seems " tormented " and spent a lot of time wandering around outside the temple after leaving his bar . Kira dismisses that as well , explaining that Bareil just had an orb experience and Quark should know how draining it is . Quark admits it ' s possible , but he also suggests that Bareil was figuring out how to rob the temple . He leaves Kira pondering . Bareil returns to his quarters to find the Intendant Kira dressed up as Kira Nerys . She reminds him of their timetable and Bareil assures her everything is going according to plan . He is , however , preoccupied . Act Five . The ersatz Kira goes to a secure cargo bay and tries to gain entry , but the Bajoran security guard won ' t let her through without her authorization code . She expresses despair and then complains about a sore shoulder . She encourages the flustered guard to rub it for her . He complies and then Kira subdues him . She goes in to a cargo transporter and reconfigures it with the inter - dimensional transporter device . Meanwhile , Bareil breaks into the temple and is about to steal the orb when Kira confronts him . He thinks it ' s the mirror Kira at first but her words reveal to him that it ' s the local one . He asks how she knew and she explains that she didn ' t , but Quark did . She can ' t understand why he is doing it until the mirror Kira arrives and explains . She begins to explain to her that Bareil is basically a spineless , irredeemable thief who duped her completely and encourages Bareil to tell Kira the same thing . Bareil instead stuns the mirror Kira . The local Kira warns him that she will kill him when she awakes and he brushes the warning off , saying he ' s dealt with her anger before . He reveals that he saw the two of them living together with a family in his orb vision . Kira asks him what would be wrong about such a life , and he answers that he would just screw it up because he doesn ' t belong . He activates the transporter and he and the mirror Kira disappear .
