masterful episode, most people watch and and don't pick up what the nazis who wrote it, were laying down. kai wynn and the other top 2 kai's were the ones who were ultimately culpable for the invasion and destruction of bajor, and they did it for selfish reasons on gain. the kai wynn and clergy class basically thought they could play the cardassians for fools by giving them nothing and taking from them everything with fraudulant deals and the cardassians responded in kind, taking payment for their treachery and wynn herself is what paved the way for bajor to make good on her payments owed so she could keep her ability as kai, making wynn the most evil villain in the entire franchise except maybe after dukat, wyn and kai's were the cardassian collaborators, and one exiled themselves to a poor planet of suffering wrecks, to clear the consciousness of basically being ultimately culpable for the cardassian invasion of bajor. the reptiles keep their word, but if you fraud them, which bajor did, then they will take what is theirs in an iron bank of braavos kind of way. making the kai clergy ultimately maximally culpable for bajor's bad outcome. you don't fuck up, you only fuck down.  masterpiece good for a rewatch with fresh ears, you have to pay attention, everything in the story makes sense. it's jews, shapeshifters, cardassians, humans and ferengi romulans and just enough bewbs and bimbos in space to keep it moving.
