Let He Who Is Without Sin . . . ( episode ) While Worf , Dax , Bashir , Leeta , and Quark vacation on Risa , Worf decides to join a radical fundamentalist group determined to start a political revolution on Risa . Summary . Teaser . Odo and Benjamin Sisko are at the station ' s Replimat , discussing the coming of Miles and Keiko O ' Brien ' s second child . Odo says that " Sean , " one of their name choices , means " swamp " in Bajoran . Jadzia Dax comes in nursing a pulled neck muscle , her eighth muscle pull in several weeks and one of many injuries she has sustained since she began seeing Worf . Sisko wishes they could be romantic in a less violent way , but that ' s unlikely since Jadzia has managed to talk Worf into going to Risa for their vacation , instead of Earth as they originally planned . Sisko is astonished that Worf agreed to it , and wonders if he ' s begun to loosen up . But as the Klingon enters and orders his usual prune juice , Jadzia claims that he ' s the same old Worf . When he arrives , Worf says he wants to speak alone with Jadzia , and they begin to mildly argue about her having lunch with Captain Boday , a Gallamite who turns out to be one of Dax ' former lovers . Soon after Sisko and Odo leave , Leeta and Dr . Bashir come in to inquire about their trip , asking if they can hitch a ride on the runabout as they seek to have their own romantic leave together . Worf , although not pleased , relents and permits them to come along . In the end , a fifth person joins them on the runabout to Risa , much to Worf ' s dismay : Quark , who would not give Leeta the time off unless he was permitted to tag along . Act One . On the way to Risa , Leeta insists on serving everybody ( except for Quark , her boss ) their drinks . Quark is quite impatient , even though it ' s a relatively short trip , and his attitude almost makes Worf abort the trip altogether . Quark gives everybody but Worf a " horga ' hn " , Risan fertility idols , which are used when achieving " jamaharon " , before wisely returning to his cabin on the runabout . Once on Risa , Bashir and Leeta go off on their own as promised , and Quark immediately gets lucky with his " horga ' hn " . Worf did not change out of his uniform , and seems uncomfortable with being on Risa , though Jadzia does her best to change his mood . She almost succeeds until they are interrupted by Arandis , one of Curzon Dax ' s old lovers . On his last trip to Risa , Arandis ended up sending the elderly Curzon to his death during " jamaharon " . Worf is getting more uncomfortable by the minute , near the point of jealousy , and it ' s beginning to upset Jadzia greatly . She challenges his assertion that he is not too controlling of her by having a glass of icoberry juice , which they both know she is mildly allergic to . He relents from his jealousy again , and she urges him to put a swimsuit on so they can go swimming . Worf encounters Pascal Fullerton the leader of the radical fundamentalist group " New Essentialists " . These fundamentalists are attempting to start a political revolution on Risa . Their aim is to fight against loosening morals in the Federation . Act Two . Worf reads a PADD about Fullerton ' s message and walking with Dax . He encourages her to read it , though she is intent on vacationing . They find Leeta , who is getting a sensual massage from someone – not Bashir . She invites them to a reyamilk soak . Dax politely declines and leaves , though Worf is stunned about Leeta ' s behavior . Outside , Worf expresses his disapproval , but Dax says sternly it ' s not their business . She wants to go see the sights , but Worf intends on attending the Essentialists ' event . At the rally , Dax and Worf see Bashir with another woman – not Leeta – and Worf is upset about that and sees this as affirmation for the thesis of Fullerton . Arandis joins them , seeing Fullerton as entertainment and nothing more . The event is only attended by a few other people . Fullerton explains that morals have become degenerated and amusement has a higher priority than ever before . With threats from the Borg , Romulan s , and the Dominion , Federation citizens can ' t afford this mentality . He concludes with an emphasis for hard work . Worf obviously agrees with what he said , though the others don ' t . Later , the group debates the topic . Worf explains the Klingons saw the Federation as weak , inviting attack . Bashir points out none of the debate has to do with Risa , but Worf says he can ' t be certain . Dax says everyone needs a vacation , especially those who devote their lives defending the Federation . Just then , Leeta arrives and kisses Bashir . Worf has had it , and confronts them . Leeta and Bashir explain that they came to Risa to break up , through an old Bajoran tradition called the Rite of Separation . They excuse themselves to " work some details out . " Dax and Worf continue to debate , but then the group of fundamentalists attack some Risian visitors during dinner , carrying phaser rifle s . Act Three . When Jadzia and Worf attempt to fight back , Fullerton calls a stop to the action . It turns out that the phaser cells are empty and Fullerton arranged the event so as to demonstrate how vulnerable the Federation has become . Worf is impressed , though says he can ' t condone the group ' s actions . Dax threatens to arrest them , but he points out the Risians won ' t prosecute . Later , Worf wants to talk to Dax about their relationship . Dax is argumentative as Worf points out he sees her as his Par ' Mach ' kai , and therefore everything she does reflects on him , including her impulsive nature . Ultimately , he wants to know she takes the relationship as seriously as he does . Jadzia believes he ' s taking this to an extreme , telling him he can ' t control her and should be more relaxed . They both agree , however , that each won ' t change who they are . Dax goes to see the damage the Essentialists have done , and finds Arandis . She takes the incident in stride , joking that Fullerton needs some " jamaharon " . Dax turns serious and confides about her problems with Worf while helping her clean up . Meanwhile , Leeta and Bashir complete their separation with a ceremony in which they declare themselves two instead of one . They end with a kiss . Quark , the witness for the ceremony , was expecting more , but is instead let down . Interestingly , Leeta says she can now be honest about her feelings . She then reveals that she has developed feelings for Rom . Both Quark and Bashir are shocked . Later , Worf walks in on Jadzia sculpting with Arandis and is jealous . He goes back to his room , breaks a " horga ' hn " , and decides to help Fullerton make his point . He tells the group he knows how to make people leave Risa . Act Four . Quark and Bashir listen to Dax vent about what happened . Bashir remarks he may have taken Worf ' s view if he was there . Furthermore , " figuring " Jadzia out was what made her so intriguing to him when he first came to Deep Space 9 . however , the amount of work it took to get close to her was why he stopped . Dax shrugs this off and expresses why she likes Worf , despite the fact that " he " is a lot of work . Just then , Arandis enters to say she hasn ' t found Worf . Soon , they hear lightning and thunder , which should never happen in that part of Risa . As several of the visitors group under shelter , along with Quark , Bashir , and Arandis , they wonder about what happened when Fullerton , and Worf , and his group enter . Fullerton makes his speech and leaves , but Worf is confronted . Worf stands his ground , saying , as Fullerton did , that Federation citizens must be prepared to resist a Dominion invasion and cannot afford to let themselves go with the illusion of Risa . He doesn ' t want to argue anymore and leaves . The rain creates an unpleasant ambiance on Risa because everybody expected sunny weather . Even the Risians are depressed , but Arandis tries to organize a game of hoverball , indoor of course . However , only Dax will join , so she admits that the guests have been complaining about everything and is dismayed herself . She wonders whether Fullerton was right in that they ' ve forgotten how to deal with adversity . Fullerton explains his satisfaction to Worf , since guest population is declining and the message is spreading . But when Worf leaves , the fundamentalist confers with his assistant that all the attention will be forgotten when the weather control system restarts . He wants to take things one step further . Act Five . Jadzia confronts Worf about the situation , saying his actions aren ' t about the Essentialists or the Federation but about them as a couple . Angry that he didn ' t trust her with Arandis , she asks him why he is so obsessed with controlling everything in his life . Saying there must be something going on , she states Worf sets a great example of Klingon honor , but has none of the Klingon zest for life . Worf tells her that when he was a child he grew up on the sparsely populated farming colony of Gault , and as the biggest , strongest and most fearless boy around he did what whatever he wanted with no worries . At the age of thirteen , he captained his school ' s soccer team and was determined to win , so when he and a boy named Mikel made a play for the mid - air ball he threw himself at his opponent in order to score . He succeeded , but had failed to realize in his excitement that he had accidentally broken his opponent ' s neck when their heads collided , killing him . Worf saw that Humans were extremely fragile , so he decided to restrain himself so that no one else suffered and over time his restraint became part of who he is . Worf promises that he will never hurt Jadzia , a promise she returns but tells him that he can ' t control her and asks for his trust . Suddenly the conversation is interrupted by an earthquake . It doesn ' t take them long to realize that Fullerton has something to do with it . This time however he has lost the support of Worf who tells Fullerton that the Federation will persevere against the likes of the Klingons , the Dominion and , most importantly , people like him . When Fullerton The two then fight , with Worf easily overcoming Fullerton . Worf and Jadzia manage to beat the fundamentalists and readjust the weather control system . Now even Worf sees for himself that one can relax and enjoy themselves without losing control , and he and Dax decide to make the most of their remaining vacation . Memorable quotes .
