Stardate 50975.2: Rom and Leeta are set to be wed, but, aside from the wedding dress, they need one more thing: The Emissary to perform their ceremony. Captain Sisko agrees to do it. However, there may not be time as a fifth wave of Jem'Hadar ships enters the Alpha Quadrant bound for Cardassia. With the Dominion making their presence felt, the entire quadrant has become a hot zone.

Brooke, a Fashion Club hopeful, gets a nose job, and Quinn is deemed shallow for saying the new nose is merely 'cute'. The other Fashion Club members subsequently also get nose jobs, and so Quinn goes to get one too, but the doctor plays on Quinn's insecurities and talks her into getting about $6000 worth of surgery. Quinn doesn't have that kind of money, and becomes more determined to get it after Brooke has further surgery done and looks gorgeous. It's up to Daria to convince her she's perfect and doesn't need to change a thing.
