The Visitor (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) - Arc Significance

Arc Significance

• Although most of the events depicted in the episode are erased when the timeline is reset, there are a few hints of what is to come: Jake does begin writing Anslem before the end of the season, and tension with the Klingons continues to worsen. And it is also possible that another hint would point to the Bajoran Prophets possibly having this middle-aged Jake from the future appear in present time to allow his father to fulfill prophesy later on through his own death, though this is not truly certain, however.
