On returning to Deep Space Nine, O'Brien tries to adjust back to life on board the station, but his experiences while imprisoned still trouble him, presenting as flashbacks to his time in jail. Seeing his wife Keiko initially as his fictional cellmate Ee'char, he begins to exhibit habitual behaviours that he 'picked up' while 'incarcerated,' such as hoarding food and sleeping on the hard floor instead of his bed.

While playing darts with Lt. Commander Worf, O'Brien sees Ee'char outside the bar, but when he tries to follow him outside, Ee'char is nowhere to be seen. Over time, O'Brien becomes increasingly irritable and reclusive. When Dr. Bashir visits him, O'Brien tells him to 'stay the hell away from [him]'. While waiting to be served at Quark's bar, he assaults Quark; immediately, across the table, O'Brien sees Ee'char, who tells O'Brien he needs him. Quark and Constable Odo are seen observing O'Brien from across the bar.

Captain Sisko later relieves O'Brien of duty, placing him on medical leave and ordering him to attend the counselling sessions that he had been consistently avoiding. O'Brien storms into Doctor Bashir's Infirmary, angry at being placed on leave and telling Bashir that he just wants to be left alone. Again, he imagines seeing Ee'char, who urges him to get help, but instead he storms out and returns to his quarters. Keiko and their young daughter Molly are there, and O'Brien yells at them before almost hitting Molly. He flees to a cargo bay and starts tearing the place apart. Finding a weapons locker, he sets a phaser on maximum, preparing to take his own life.

Bashir follows O'Brien and finds him just in time. O'Brien recounts the story of how he had killed Ee'char over a few pieces of bread that Ee'char was saving for the both of them and that the guilt has been eating away at his conscience. O'Brien is convinced he is an animal, but Bashir tells him that if he truly were, he would have felt no regret for killing Ee'char, and so O'Brien is still human deep down inside. Bashir ultimately prescribes a new course of heavy treatment and soon has O'Brien on the way to recovery.

Reception[edit]

In 2014, Gizmodo ranked 'Hard Time' as the 42nd best episode of Star Trek, out of over 700 ones made by that time.^[1]

In 2015, Geek.com recommended this episode as 'essential watching' for their abbreviated Star Trek: Deep Space Ninebinge-watching guide.^[2]

The patriarch who tells a prominent foreigner that his wife is hissister so that he would not be killed for her is found in both Yahwist (Genesis12:10-20 and 26:7-11) and Elohist (Genesis 20:1-18) versions. Elohist tradition. They suggest that the Elohist wasnot a continuous source but only the residue of some editing done by a group ofpriests from northern Israel who supplemented the Yahwist. Claims that the so-calledElohist material does not come from a common source but is a pot pourri from avariety of different places.Nonetheless, there may be enough evidence to suggest that anElohist source once did exist. For instance, doublets of certain basic storyplots are found, and the duplicates evidence the characteristic vocabulary ofthe sources. Also, certainnarratives contain a combination of both Yahwist and Elohist material,suggesting that both traditions had the same story and were later combined.Examples of this are Jacob's dream (Genesis 28:10-22), Moses's calling (Exodus3), and the theophany at Sinai (Exodus 19).The Yahwist uses the divine name Yahweh from the verybeginning.

In 2016, Empire ranked this the 47th best out of the top 50 episodes of all the 700 plus Star Trek television episodes.^[3]
