Trivia
This was the 500th episode of Star Trek to air.

Goofs
As Major Kira said that Worf and Jadzia are the only two left to do the mission, she shouldn't send them away because she knows the Federation rules, not to send family! At the end Worf is reprimanded by Sisko over this although Major Kira should be reprimanded that she allowed them to go on this mission together. Instead of Jadzia she should send another officer or send an message to the Federation for assistance.

Quotes
Captain Sisko: As your captain, it is my duty to inform you that you made the wrong choice. I don't think Starfleet will file any formal charges. Even a secret court martial would run the risk of revealing too much about their intelligence operations. But this will go into your service record - and to be completely honest, you probably won't be offered a command on your own after this.
Worf: I understand.
Captain Sisko: I've also issued new orders: you and Jadzia are not to be assigned to a mission on your own ever again.
[moves closer to Worf, lowers his voice]
Captain Sisko: One last thing: as a man who had a wife, if Jennifer had been lying in that clearing, I wouldn't have left her either.

The needs of the few

Worf and Jadzia go on a mission to find a Cardassian defector

This is a good Worf and Jadzia romance episode.

It has an enjoyable character-driven story about the strength of their love with one big dramatic moment, but the general tone and content involves relationship humour. You have to like the banter between the two if you are to take anything from it and fortunately I do. I think it is nicely written and both Michael Dorn and Terry Farrell are on top form.

There are some contrivances and implausibilities, with the main one being the decision to send them alone on a mission together. If anyone should have been facing reprimand near the end it should have been Kira for poor judgement.

The subplot is reasonably good and has some good banter between Bashir, O'Brien, and Quark. However, it's in the grand scheme of Star Trek it will likely be forgettable to me.
