After Bilby was ordered by Raimus and a Vorta to assassinate the Klingon Ambassador to Farius, O'Brien revealed himself and warned Bilby not to go; but, to protect his family from the consequences of his mistake, Bilby went anyway and was killed by the Klingons.

A year later, Jack and the others brought Sarina to DS9, where Bashir operated on her to stimulate the growth of new synapses, which would enable her to focus on her surroundings.
