When a damaged ship comes through the worm hole the passengers are beamed aboard the station but their language is too complicated for the universal translators to decipher at first. Once what they say can be translated it turns out they are refugees called the Skrreeas who believe their ancient home world was on the Alpha Quadrant side of the worm hole... and they believe that world was Bajor. As more and more Skrreeas come to the station they have run ins with certain people, noticeably Nog who gets into a scuffle with a group of them after they don't take to kindly to him spaying them with a foul smelling substance. When the Bajorans come to a decision about whether or not to accept the refugees it isn't the one the Skrreeas were hoping for and one of them takes a ship and tries to get to Bajor but to do that he must deal with a faulty engine and Bajoran interceptors.
This wasn't a bad episode even if though it was somewhat lacking in action; even the scene involving the ship being intercepted above Bajor was only illustrated by showing the positions of the ships on a radar screen rather than actually showing them. Luckily the Skrreea leader, played by Deborah May, is quite interesting and it avoided the clichéd "happy ever after" ending which I'd expected. We get another hint about the Dominion, learning that they conquered the race who were oppressing the Skrreeas.
