Near the end of the episode, a montage is shown of the ensemble cast with footage from previous "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episodes. The music cues used prior to O'Brien's montage are from the Irish song "The Minstrel Boy", which previously featured in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "". There are no clips featuring Jadzia Dax, because Terry Farrell and her manager reportedly refused the routine process of granting permission for her appearance in the clips, to the great disappointment of the staff. Ira Steven Behr guessed that Farrell's feelings might have been hurt regarding the staff's choice of flashback clips, and elaborated: "Her manager was informed that we were thinking of using Terry in a scene in the final episode. It would have probably been three hours of work ... maybe four. The price they quoted us was too high for the budget. After all, this was a show where we had to cut out hundreds of thousands of dollars from the original draft."
