Orthodox Bajorans object to secular teachings about the wormhole in the station's school, causing tensions between fundamentalists and the Starfleet crew. (Season finale)

Summary[]

Teaser[]

It is a regular morning aboard Deep Space 9 with Keiko O'Brien heading to school as Chief O'Brien heads to work. The two discuss the sweet taste of a jumja stick while walking the Promenade, and Miles's Bajoran assistant Neela. Later, Keiko begins teaching the children about the Bajoran wormhole. As the lesson begins, a Bajoran religious leader by the name of Vedek Winn suddenly enters the classroom and asks Keiko to continue. Keiko continues to talk about the wormhole in a scientific way; however, Winn argues against the lesson telling Keiko the wormhole is actually the Celestial Temple and the entities living there are the Prophets. Keiko explains that while she appreciates the Bajorans believe these things, she is teaching the children science and not spiritual beliefs. Winn tells Keiko that what she is doing is teaching blasphemy, and warns that she will not allow her to continue.

Act One[]

O'Brien is late arriving to supervise Neela in fixing a junction in Odo's security office, but she has already completed it and is ready to test. O'Brien tests it, and is impressed, ready to close the panel. However, he is missing his EJ7 interlock from his case. He'll have to find it.

Keiko O'Brien and Kira Nerys, 2369

"I'm not going to let a Bajoran spiritual leader dictate what can or can't be taught in my classroom."

Winn immediately starts to gain support among the Bajoran civilians who live on the station, while Keiko goes to meet with Commander Sisko. Sisko admits that he always felt this situation was going to crop up eventually, and admits he sometimes wonders if they can find the common ground needed to help ensure Bajor's admission into the Federation. He asks Kira to join the meeting, and asks her about Winn. Kira explains that Winn is a member of an orthodox Bajoran religious order who is currently in the running to take-up the vacant post of Kai, although she isn't expected to succeed. Kira then admits that she supports both Winn's candidacy as well as her viewpoint regarding teachings about the wormhole and asks Keiko if she would be willing to revise the school curriculum or consider having a separate school for Bajoran children, but Keiko outright rejects both ideas. Sisko suggests that Keiko teach the spiritual beliefs surrounding the wormhole in addition to her current lesson plan, but Kira reminds him that there are two completely different philosophies at the center of the debate. Keiko argues that she isn't trying to teach any philosophy, but Kira states that choosing to talk about the wormhole from a purely scientific point of view is a philosophy in itself. She's unsure if the situation can be resolved.

Commander Sisko decides to go visit Vedek Winn while she is at the Bajoran shrine, however he is made uncomfortable when she addresses him as the Emissary of the Prophets. He asks her not to call him that, but she tells him he has taken up a deeply important role in the Bajoran faith, and how she was punished by Kai Opaka when she questioned why a non-believer was the one to find the Prophets when she (Winn) would have done anything to meet them. Wishing to get to the heart of the matter, Sisko asks Winn if she is willing to discuss her issues with the school, but Winn tells Sisko that she is acting on behalf of the Prophets and that there will be serious consequences if Keiko does not back down from her position.

Act Two[]

In Ops, O'Brien is determined to find the tool he is missing, as it could be used to access critical systems. Lieutenant Dax then reports that Ensign Aquino, an engineer, failed to report for duty, so they try to use the computer to locate the tool by looking for tritanium. In a maintenance tunnel on Level 12, Section 8, Neela finds a blob of sludge in a power conduit, and a subsequent analysis by Dr. Bashir reveals that it is the remains of both Ensign Aquino and the EJ7 interlock. They had apparently been incinerated by a power surge while Aquino worked on the power conduit at 4 AM that morning.

As O'Brien is walking Keiko to school, he stops at a stand for his usual morning jumja stick, but the Bajoran vendor refuses to sell him one, because of the current controversy involving Keiko. Keiko moves Miles away from the vendor before he attacks him and they move on to the schoolhouse, where they meet Vedek Winn outside the school. She has gathered a group of Bajoran parents and children. Vedek Winn attempts to negotiate in public: she will not object to Keiko teaching a non-spiritual viewpoint of the Wormhole, if Keiko simply does not teach about the Wormhole at all. Keiko replies that it is her job to open children's minds to knowledge, not to hide it from them. Keiko asks if Vedek Winn will also object to teaching of evolution, and of the origin of the universe. Winn leaves with the Bajoran contingent, officially boycotting the school. Finally, only five of her students remain including Jake Sisko.

Act Three[]

The senior staff is assembled to discuss Aquino's death. O'Brien gives a plausible theory, except he doesn't believe Aquino took his tool without asking, and the repair could have waited. It's an odd situation. Sisko suggests Odo look into it.

After the meeting, Jake Sisko tells his father about school. Keiko continues to teach her remaining five students about Galileo, and how he was tried by the Inquisition for his belief that Earth revolved around the Sun. Jake makes the connection between the story of Galileo and current events on the station. He tells his father that the current controversy is stupid, and asks where the Bajorans get such ideas. Commander Sisko, however, points out that the Bajoran religion is quite reasonable in light of the Wormhole and the nature of the Prophets, and counsels Jake to be tolerant of the beliefs of other cultures. Or else, he warns his son, he will be acting just like Vedek Winn – seeing an issue from only one side.

Sisko, attempting to heal the rift between Starfleet and the Bajorans on Deep Space 9, travels to the planet to meet with Vedek Bareil, the favored candidate to replace Opaka as Kai. Unlike Winn, Bareil is forward-thinking and personable however he is unwilling to arrange an audience for Sisko with the Vedek Assembly since being seen to ally himself with the Federation will certainly harm his chances of being elected. Bareil promises that if he is elected Kai, he will be able to show friendship then but right now can do nothing to help.

Upon returning to the station, Sisko is angry to find that three Bajoran crewmembers have refused to report for duty. He asks Kira for her opinion, and she tells him that as far as she's concerned the only reason the Bajoran government haven't asked the Federation to leave is because if they do the Cardassians will certainly return to retake Bajor and claim the wormhole. Sisko, angered that all his apparent efforts to bridge the gulf with the Bajorans over the past several months have fallen short, orders Kira to get the Bajorans back to work immediately or they will be reassigned.

Further analysis of Ensign Aquino's remains by Dr. Bashir reveals that Aquino was not killed by the discharge in the power conduit. Instead, Aquino had already been killed by phaser fire.

Act Four[]

In Sisko's office, he wonders to his staff if the murder is related to the school issue, but Aquino was killed before Winn arrived. Furthermore, Odo reports he was actually headed to runabout pad C, not to the power conduit. O'Brien and Neela go to check the runabouts, but Neela reports that she has already performed the diagnostic that O'Brien would have. It appears normal, and so they sit down to think. After a brief chat about how Starfleet and Bajoran officers don't socialize, Neela says O'Brien is easy to work with since he's not fake, and compliments him. He dismisses her, thinking about what his wife was saying earlier.

Odo and Quark observe the Promenade sitting in the Replimat as a deputation of Orthodox vedeks arrives on the station, summoned by Winn to support her boycott of the station's school. Odo asks if Quark knows anything about Aquino's murder. Quark says he does not, but agrees to "keep [his] ears open." O'Brien then approaches Odo and says he has found evidence of tampering at Runabout Pad A, but is confused because Pad C, where Aquino's body was found, was clean. Odo says it makes sense: Aquino surprised his murderer in the act of tampering with Pad C, and after killing him, the murderer switched his plan to Pad A. The tampering seemed intended to allow the murderer to steal a runabout, but none are missing. Odo is confused: "he goes through a lot of trouble to defeat the security net, and then doesn't go through with his plans."

Before he can pursue this line of thought further, a bomb goes off in the schoolhouse. O'Brien runs in panic towards the school in fear that Keiko was inside, which is blazing, but thankfully, Keiko is alright, school was not in session and no one was hurt.

Act Five[]

Sisko and several station personnel go to the school, where they are met by Vedek Winn who asks after Keiko. Sisko, knowing that Winn was likely connected to if not directly responsible for the bombing, tells her that he's holding her responsible for the recent act of terrorism and informs her of his belief that, since her order is rarely listened to on Bajor she instead began the school issue to gain more support. Winn in response accuses Sisko (and, by extension, the Federation) of wishing to destroy the Bajoran way of life. Sisko denies the accusation, and makes an impassioned speech where he speaks of how the Federation and Bajoran people have worked hard together over the last several months, and regardless of if they're having a discussion or an argument they still come away with a better understanding of each other. He finishes by telling Winn that her attempts to cause trouble won't succeed, and the Bajorans will eventually bring their children back to school. She simply says "we'll see" and Sisko leaves. Then, Neela and Winn exchange a look.

In the Bajoran shrine, Neela secretly meets with Vedek Winn and tells her that her plan to escape via runabout has been stopped and she now has no way to escape arrest and possible execution. Winn is uncaring, and orders Neela to proceed with their plan anyway, citing the will of the Prophets.

In Ops, O'Brien discovers a secret file lodged in Deep Space 9's systems. With Dax's help, O'Brien decrypts the file (named "ANA"), and discovers that it contains the instructions to disable a series of force fields and create an escape route from the Promenade to one of the runabouts. He immediately locks down all the runabout pads to prevent anyone from using them to escape. Meanwhile Sisko is contacted by Vedek Bareil, who has heard of the bombing and decided to publicly offer Sisko his support.

Bareil takes Winn to the school to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the events, and she follows, soon joined by Sisko. As they speak publicly, O'Brien discovers that a security console in Odo's office has been tampered with. Suspicion immediately falls on Neela, who had repaired the security console several days earlier, and O'Brien realizes that she tampered with the security systems so that a weapon could be smuggled onto the Promenade. O'Brien contacts Sisko and informs him of his suspicions. Scanning the crowd in front of the school listening to Bareil's speech, Sisko sees Neela drawing a phaser from her toolbox and aiming at Bareil. He charges through the crowd, which jostles Neela and spoils her first shot. Before she can fire a second, Sisko tackles her to the ground, saving Bareil's life. Odo drags Neela away, as she yells that "the Prophets spoke" and she "answered their call".

Kira rounds on Winn, accusing her of orchestrating the entire school controversy just to lure Bareil to the station and have him killed, to stop him from being elected Kai. Winn turns away without responding.

Later, in Ops, Sisko finds Kira in a melancholy mood at her station. He confirms that Neela has refused to incriminate Winn, and Kira says she never will, leaving them with no proof of Winn's involvement. Kira admits that she supported Winn because Kira wanted her own faith to be as strong as Winn's was. She also says that she listened to Sisko's speech on the Promenade when he faced off with Winn, and agrees that she has begun to trust him and the Federation. She adds that she does not think of Sisko as the devil. Sisko smiles, saying Starfleet and the Bajorans have made some progress after all.

Background information[]

Story and script[]

Shooting In the Hands of the Prophets

Shooting "In the Hands of the Prophets"

  • An early idea for the first season finale was to be a crossover with Star Trek: The Next Generation and have Sisko, Picard and their crews work together to fight against a Cardassian invasion. Rick Berman chose not to go down that route, but Michael Piller decided to bookend the season with a replacement script that also related to "Emissary". (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 43) Ira Steven Behr commented on linking with the pilot episode, "That was something Michael [Piller] was insisting on." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 36)
  • This season-ending episode departed from the tradition of having season finales serve as cliffhangers, with a conclusion that left the audience in suspense. "I know people wanted to have the big cliff-hanger and I love cliff-hangers, but they do tend to be a gimmick," stated Ira Steven Behr, "and unless you can find a gimmick that's going to work for you, why do it? We did not have a way to do it successfully because of the budget restraints. To say you have to have a cliff-hanger is ridiculous." Michael Piller remarked, "I didn't feel coming off the excitement of the pilot and the newness of the series that we had to do a cliff-hanger. If we had a wonderful cliff-hanger that we wanted to do, I would have been behind it […] Being a responsible producer, I didn't feel we could do a cliff-hanger, which traditionally costs at least $100,000 more [because of their larger scope and action], and add it to the overage we already had on this season. We already had [an …] episode that could be a season ender that gave a completeness to the season." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, pp. 36-37) It was the only Deep Space Nine season finale not to be written or co-written by Behr.
  • This is the first episode of Deep Space Nine to deal with the Bajoran religio-political system. Ira Steven Behr noted that, prior to this episode, the series "hadn't done too much" of exploring "the Bajoran spiritual life." (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 462) Robert Hewitt Wolfe based this Bajoran societal system on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Catholicism, when the Pope was much more of a political figure than he is today, and different "orders" all vied to have their candidate installed as Pope. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?)) The Bajoran religio-political system went on to become increasingly important as the series progressed and can perhaps be most clearly seen in action in the second season episode "The Collaborator".
  • In relation to the overriding theme of this episode, Robert Hewitt Wolfe has said, "I have a serious objection to people trying to impose their values on other people. And that's what this episode is about. No one has the right to force anyone to believe the things that they believe. That's one of the beautiful things about Gene Roddenberry's vision of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations), and that was one of the things that we really wanted to hammer home here. Sisko does everything not to impose his values on the Bajorans, but Vedek Winn is determined to impose her values on everyone." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?)) Wolfe also commented, "Although I was raised Catholic and educated in Catholic schools, that was a choice my parents and I made. I did get a religious education, but I think that's where it belongs: in a religious school. It doesn't belong in all schools." ("Robert Hewitt Wolfe – writer/story editor", The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10)
  • Ira Steven Behr commented, "On one level, you could just say that with 'In the Hands of the Prophets' we were doing Inherit the Wind, but I think it enabled us, as a specific television series, to explore the Bajoran spiritual life." (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 462)
  • Director David Livingston drew some sketches on his copy of this episode's shooting script. (The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, p. xiii)

Cast and characters[]

  • This episode marks the first appearances of Louise Fletcher (Winn Adami) and Philip Anglim (Bareil Antos).
  • Colm Meaney considered "In the Hands of the Prophets" to be, with "Captive Pursuit", his joint favorite episode from the first season. Meaney explained that this was because it dealt with the "very interesting" subject of fundamentalism and because he believed an asset of Star Trek was when it explored serious, contemporary issues. He concluded, "I'm very glad to see that we're carrying on that tradition." ("Colm Meaney – Miles O'Brien", The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10)
  • Nana Visitor found she could relate to the final scene of this episode, with Kira's speech to Sisko about how much things have changed in the course of a year. "It was with Avery […] We looked at each other and realized what we'd been through," Visitor recalled. "The day we filmed that was my son's first birthday. That line was totally truthful because a year ago, at that hour, I was giving birth." (Cinefantastique, Vol. 24, No. 3/4, p. 103)

Continuity[]

  • No stardate is given in this episode; however, as noted by Sisko, this episode takes place seven months after the events of "Emissary". Opaka's absence is also mentioned; therefore, this episode takes place after "Battle Lines".
  • Referenced Rules of Acquisition: #7 ("Keep your ears open")
  • Michael Piller observed that the showdown between the Federation and the Bajorans in this episode was set up earlier in the first season. "It provides a bookend to the season," he said, "that has a confrontation that seems to have been coming all along when we met these people and found out what their lives were like." (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 462)
  • The sound effect used as the station alert during the explosion of the school was later reused in Star Trek: Voyager, as the title starship's red alert klaxon.
  • Winn paraphrases a line spoken by Opaka to Sisko in a deleted scene from "Emissary" when she says, "I once asked Kai Opaka why a disbeliever was destined to seek the Prophets. She told me one should never look into the eyes of one's own gods."
  • In this episode, Vedek Winn claims to have spoken with the Prophets, but in both "The Reckoning" and "'Til Death Do Us Part", she reveals that she had never spoken with them.
  • Keiko's line asking whether Neela is "working out any better than the last one" is a veiled reference to the fact that Anara, played by Benita Andre, introduced in "The Forsaken", and originally planned to be the assassin in this episode, "didn't work out." The name of the force field override program, "ANA", shares its name with the first three letters of Anara's name for the same reason.
  • When Miles O'Brien is trying to decode the ANA routine, one of the sequences reads, "GENE ROD", a reference to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Another one of the sequences reads "NCC1 701", a reference to Star Trek's famous ship, the USS Enterprise.
  • The computer graphic of the ANA program's sequential deactivating of force fields was reused from "Dramatis Personae". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?))

Reception[]

  • Ira Steven Behr thought highly of this episode and believed it was "clever" of Michael Piller to insist on doing it as a first season finale that linked to DS9 premiere "Emissary". Regarding this season-ending entry, Behr commented, "It's a good Kira story and it's a good Sisko story […] I thought this was an interesting, intelligent show that does a lot for the series." He additionally called it "a conceptually interesting episode" and went on to say, "'In the Hands of the Prophets' is not just another episode, it's a season-ending episode that reexamines the relationship between Bajor and the Federation and the relationship between Sisko and Kira, and gives us some thought-provoking drama." (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, pp. 36 & 37)
  • Robert Hewitt Wolfe commented that "In the Hands of the Prophets" was "a neat mystery with a lot of fun character stuff. It turned out to be a really good episode. I'm proud of it." ("Robert Hewitt Wolfe – writer/story editor", The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10) Wolfe was particularly impressed by the acting of Avery Brooks, Colm Meaney and Louise Fletcher in the episode. Wolfe commented, "Avery Brooks did a good job with the crowd scenes. He had a great presence when he addressed the crowd. There's also a really nice scene between Sisko and Jake, in which Avery did some nice work. Louise Fletcher was great. She's an Oscar-winner. What more can I say? Colm was excellent. He conveyed the pain of realizing that Neela, whom he thought was promising, bright young woman, wasn't quite the person he thought she was. He also experiences some conflicting emotions, those of a happily married man who finds himself briefly attracted to another woman. Colm did all of that as a subtext to his scenes." ("Robert Hewitt Wolfe – Writer/story editor", The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10)
  • Michael Piller regarded this as a "very thought-provoking" episode. (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 462; Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages)
