Dax, a member of the Trill species who can transfer memories and experiences from past lives to new hosts, is reunited with her former wife from a past life, Lenara Kahn. However, their rekindled romance proves to be problematic as Trill society forbids rekindling past relationships due to the belief that each host should live their own life independent of their past selves. Dax and Kahn struggle with their attraction to each other while facing backlash from both their own society and other races who view their relationship as taboo. The episode explores themes of love, identity, and cultural norms, and raises questions about the ethics of preserving past memories and relationships within a new host body.
