L'episodio termina con
Dukat, impazzito per la perdita della figlia, che dice a Sisko «I forgive you, too» e gli consegna la palla da baseball, dopodiché era prevista questa scena:
118 INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE
CLOSE ON SISKO'S HAND as he tosses the baseball in the
air. ADJUST TO REVEAL Jake, standing near him.
JAKE
You did it, Dad. You won.
SISKO
I had some help.
(a beat)
Besides, this war isn't over yet.
That takes some of the wind out of Jake's sail.
SISKO
But let's worry about that
tomorrow.
119 CLOSE ON SISKO
as he throws an arm around his son.
SISKO
Right now, it's just good to be
home.
And as Sisko tosses the ball into the air, we:
FADE OUT.
END OF ACT FIVE
