tells him that her husband was not the hero in life that he was in death. As the hearing resumes, Enina testifies that at the time of the murder, Curzon was in her bed. The arbiter dismisses the case. After the hearing is over, Enina talks privately with Dax of how no one must ever know that her husband had sent the coded message himself in an attempt to betray his own people, and the rebels killed him for the favor. Production This episode was written by D. C. Fontana, known for work on Star Trek: The Original Series. Peter Allan Fields had previously worked with Fontana on The Six Million Dollar Man. Fontana found that the story was focused on characters and that there wasn't a lot of action, but found it challenging, "as all early scripts in a series are" because you haven't yet learned to write for a particular actor's voice and you have to invent facts about a character that may not work out later. Fields rewrote the script and decided that instead of writing Dax as a wise old owl at peace with her many past lives, she would be in turmoil with the different personalities of past hosts influencing her behavior. This conflict is expressed in the moment when Jadzia Dax says goodbye to Enina Tandro, a former lover of Dax's previous host Curzon it seems as if they are about to kiss. It was not until the fourth season episode "Rejoined" that the series would show two women kissing. Fionnula Flanagan guest starred as Enina Tandro. It was her first appearance on Star Trek and she later appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in the episode "Inheritance" as Juliana Soong, Data's "mother", and on Star Trek: Enterprise in the episode "Fallen Hero" as a Vulcan ambassador.
