Summary
Sisko is out of commission, Kira finally learns how to treat him like a regular friend and not with all the reverence due the Emissary (had she been doing that?), Worf plays out the ol' "person suddenly in command who needs to learn how to be command" trope, and Bashir and Dax get cracking on retconning Bashir. But don't forget about Odo! Actually, you probably can except for one scene.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:23 - for a whopping 2:45 for a regular episode! Mostly nonsense.]

| 2:04.3 | Oh, well, that's. That is. That is's delivering... Worf's delivering Keiko's baby. Chief O'Brien's baby. Chief O'Brien stuck on the bridge. They think everyone's dead down in the engineering section. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is very different. This is very different.
