Writer/director James Kerwin infuses Raymond Chandler-influenced noir with a metaphysical twist by tracing the story of a female detective who's tough enough to take on even Philip Marlowe in this monochromatic mystery designed to challenge the viewer's very perception of reality. Hoyle (Kipleigh Brown) is a hard-drinking detective whose taste for bourbon betrays her razor-sharp sleuthing skills. Set out on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton), however, Hoyle soon finds her life becoming increasingly fragmented and surreal. The only people that Hoyle can trust as she begins to uncover a series of mind-bending cosmological secrets are her loyal partner (Mik Scriba) and a scintillating lounge singer (Chase Masterson). But wherever Hoyle goes, she is shadowed by a mysterious figure (Peter Mayhew) whom she is soon destined to meet, and who may just possess the power to bend reality. In a world of black and white, Hoyle is about to take a bizarre journey into the divine gradients of grey invisible to the naked eye. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

As was the case in seasons past, the fifth season of Deep Space Nine ended with a crisis situation, as the crew prepares for a devastating Dominion/Cardassian attack. Once again, Sisko tries to forestall the attack by closing off the wormhole, but his efforts are futile. Meanwhile, Odo and Kira put aside their blossoming relationship in the face of imminent destruction, Jake accepts a job as a war correspondent, and Worf proposes to Dax. As the episode hurtles to a close, the unthinkable happens, and the crew surrenders DS9 to the Dominion. Those watching "Call to Arms" during its original June 16, 1997 playdate would have to wait until the following season to witness the outcome of this particularly complex story. "Call to Arms" was written by Ira Steven Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Heading directly into what seems to be a suicide mission, Sisko and the Defiant crew grimly press onward, still determined to wrest Deep Space Nine away from the Dominion. Despite the assembled forces of 1,000 Dominion vessels, the Defiant manages to break into the wormhole, enabling Sisko to come within firing range of DS9. Fully expecting a battle to the death, he is surprised to learn that he has several allies amongst the Dominion hierarchy. This pivotal episode was written by Ira Steven Behr and Hans Beimler and originally aired November 3, 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Having at last scored a victory against the Dominion, Sisko and his crew prepare to celebrate at the long-awaited wedding of Worf and Dax. But before the couple can enjoy connubial bliss, they must endure a few "inconveniences," including Worf's painful, ritualistic Klingon bachelor party, and the efforts by Worf's surrogate mother Sirella (Shannon Cochran) to kill the bride-to-be. Even so, Bashir is able to survey the situation and comment happily "There's nothing more romantic than a DS9 wedding in the springtime." Coming as it does in the middle of one of the series' grimmest story arcs, "You Are Cordially Invited. . ." was a welcome and refreshingly amusing change of pace. First telecast November 10, 1997, the episode was written by Ronald D. Moore. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rebelling against Quark's obstreperous management tactics, his employees walk out on him. The situation is exacerbated when Quark's own brother Rom defies Ferengi tradition and organizes the employees into a union.

Originally telecast February 19, 1996, "Bar Association" was scripted by Robert Hewitt Wolfe and Ira Steven Behr from a story by Barbara J. Lee and Jennifer A. Lee. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
